ALLEN: BATS OF THE GENUS CORYNORHINUS. 349 



men said to have been collected by George F. Gaumer on the Island 

 of Cozumel, Yucatan. The skin had no original label and is appar- 

 ently quite typical of pallesceiis so that it is more than likely the lo- 

 cality is erroneous. 



For the privilege of describing this new form I am indebted to Mr. 

 H. W. Henshaw, Chief of the Biological Survey. 



Specimens examined. — Total number eighteen, from the following 

 localities : — 



Chihuahua: near Pacheco, 14 (Biol. Surv.). 



Zacatecas: Valparaiso Mts., 2 (Biol. Surv.). 



Jalisco: Guadalajara, 1 (Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist.). 



Guanajuato: Sta. Rosa, 1 skull (Biol. Surv.). 



The following additional locality records probably refer to this 

 subspecies: San Luis Potosi, Hacienda la Parada; Michoacan, 

 Patzcuaro; Oaxaca, Oaxaca; Vera Cruz, Jico (see Miller, 1897, p. 53).

Txjpe. — None specified. A "dry" specimen, 4727 U. S. N. M., 

 presented by Major LeConte, with locality entered as "United 

 States," is listed by Harrison Allen in his Monograph of the Bats of 

 North America, 1893. This specimen may well be the actual one on 

 which LeConte based his description. 



Type Locality. — No locality is mentioned in the original description. 

 In a later paper, however, LeConte states (1855, p. 436) that it 

 inhabits "Georgia," whence it is inferred that the type locality is 

 " probably near the LeConte Plantation, 5 miles south of Riceboro," 

 Liberty County, in that State (INIiller, 1897, p. 51). 



Distribution. — Southeastern Lnited States, from North Carolina,
