 Scapanus latimanus Osgood, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., XX, 1907, 



P- 5 2 - 

 Type locality. Monterey, Santa Clara County, California (see 



Osgood) . 



Thr type of this species is in the Berlin Museum, transmitted there 

 by Deppe from Monterey, California. Mr. Osgood examined this 

 type specimen and was convinced that it was the same as Scalopus cali- 

 fornicus Ayres, which indeed it must be, as it is the only species of mole 

 found in that locality, therefore Ayres's name must become a syno- 

 nym, and the species be hereafter known as Scapanus latimanus 

 (Bachman).
