  The

  in 
  the 
  U. 
  S. 
  National 
  Museum 
  consists 
  of 
  9 
  double 
  specimens 
  still 
  on 
  

   the 
  original 
  glass 
  mounting 
  of 
  Carpenter 
  with 
  Carpenter's 
  label 
  "type" 
  "C.

  Howard 
  (1939) 
  added 
  further 
  evidence 
  to 
  Carpenter's 
  statement 
  that 
  the 
  species 
  is 
  

   viviparous 
  but 
  agreed 
  witli 
  Bernard 
  that 
  it 
  is 
  not 
  parasitic 
  as 
  supposed 
  by 
  Dall.

  Although 
  the 
  rajige 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  extends 
  into 
  the 
  California 
  territory, 
  the 
  type 
  is 
  from 
  

   the 
  Mazatlan 
  fauna. 
  The 
  illustration 
  of 
  the 
  type, 
  therefore, 
  belongs 
  with 
  the 
  figuring 
  of 
  the 
  

   Mazatlan 
  Catalogue 
  and 
  further 
  discussion 
  is 
  retained 
  for 
  that 
  report.
