The skin is well made up, probably remade, but the specimen has a worn and
dirty look about it. PkuU nuich broken, but now patched up, so that the
missing parts are the two zygomatic arclies, the last left ujiper molar, and the
angular, condyloid, and coronoid ])roceases oi the right half of the mandible.
Type not designated by number, but it is mentioned as one "colletited by the
Boundary Connnission under ISIajor (irahain." Referring to Bainl's ]\Iammals
of North America, page 47(5, there are l\nuid t l)e three specimens collected b\
that commissi(m—nos. 144, 14G, and 147. The measurements of no. 140 agree
very closely with the measurements given by Le Conte; no. 144 does not agree
with them at all, and of no. 147 no measurements are given and the specimen
itself can not be found. No. 14(5 is evitlently the ty])e. It was so conside?-ed
and marked by Coues in 1877.
