Type. — None specified. The original three specimens are not 

 known to be still in existence. 



Type Locality. — Oregon, on the lower Columbia River. Townsend, 

 (1839, p. 325) who collected the t>T)es, says that they frequent "the 

 store houses attached to the forts" hence it is probable that since The 

 Dalles, Fort Walla Walla, Vancouver, Fort George, and Astoria, 

 were the forts visited, one of these furnished the three skins he col- 

 lected. 



Distribution. — The humid coast region from Vancouver Island, 

 British Columbia, southward to San Francisco, California, intergrad- 

 ing with pallescens here, as well as in north central California. Inland 

 it extends over most of (?) Washington, Oregon, and the western half 

 of northern California. 



General Characters. — A dark-colored race, characterized by the 

 blackish bases of the hairs, with contrasted brown tips above, and pale 

 brown wash below.
