dition; skull with central part of each zygoma broken out, right orbital region

Tbis specimen may be considered as the type because it is the first one men-
tioned in the list of three individuals that Dr. H. Allen gives, and tlie only alco-
holic among them. Miller [North Amer. Fauna, No. 13, p. 88] has definitely
chosen the above specimen as the type. Again, Miller and Rehn [Proc. Bost.
Soc. Nat. Hist., XXX, p. 259] regard Old Fort Yuma, California, as the type-
locality. The other two of the original three specimens Nos. 5509 and 5910)
came from Poso Creek, Kern County, California, and are dry skins.
