PEROaNATHUS. 53
jV^V- Mounted skin and skull. Adult female. "W. of Rockj^ Mts."
(Mus. Cat.) 1853. Collected b}' Dr. George Suckley. Catalof^ued
January 31, 1855. In regard to the localit}', the following is
quoted from Osgood, op. cit., p. 36: '*It is also not improbable
that the type of Raird's ''inonticola'' was also taken at The Dalles
[Oregon]. Haird's queried statement that it came from St. Mary's
Mission, Mont., is rendered uuich more doubtful by the unsuc-
cessful efforts of recent collectors to obtain additional specimens
from that locality. Dr. Suckley, who collected this type, stopped
for some time at The Dalles and may have obtained it there."'-
The i^kin is badly mounted and in poor condition. It is much bleached and
the ears are more or less broken, and on the posterior parts of body are two large
areas without hair. The skull is in better condition, but upper incisors are
broken off to the alveoli ; the posterior parts of the zygomata, left audital l)ulla,
and parts about the foramen magnum are broken; lower jaw almost perfect.
Baird had but one specimen, designated by number.
