* Sciurus pennsylvamcus Ord, if it could be proved to have been applied 

 to the northern form of the gray squirrel would have fifteen years precedence 

 over leucotis Gapper, and that name would necessarily become a synonym. 

 But as Ord's name is without description, and therefore a no-men iiinliiin, ii 

 cannot be determined whether he intended to apply it to the southern or 

 northern form of gray squirrel.
