tVA- Skull (skin lost). Monterey, California. 1853. Collected by
Lieut. W. P. Trowbridge, U. S. A. Skin catalogued December 5,
1854; skull November 29, 1854. The entry in the skull catalogue
reads, "Monterey? Cal. Perhaps San Diego."
Skull considerably damaged; posterior and inferior parts of brain-case want-
ing, and most of right side of skull posterior to rostrum broken away. Posterior
part of right half of mandible also broken. One loose bulla is present. There
should be a skin, No. 310, which can not now l)e found.
No type designated. By referring to ^Mammals of North America, pages 610-
612, it is seen that most of the description is based upon No. 310; moreover, the
mea.surements of 310 agree more nearly w'ith those given in the original descrip-
tion. For these reasons No. fV:"; is here chosen aa the type.
