I, p. 270, Zool. 



Type locality. Lake Sutherland, Olympic Mountains, Wash- 

 ington. 



Geogr. Distr. Northwest Washington. 



Genl. Char. Skull long and broad; outline of occipital region 

 greatly curved, and a deep indentation at the posterior termination 

 of the sagittal crest, which barely arises above the plane of the skull. 

 The frontals are longer than in S. latifnms, the nasals shorter; a longer 

 palatal bone and pterygoid fossa. Bullae less inflated. Last molar 

 nearer the palatal notch. 



Color. Similar to S. latifrons, but differs as follows: White mark 

 on forehead is long, comparatively narrow, diminishing gradually, 

 and ending in a point posteriorly, and reaching nearly to aline drawn 

 across head from base of ears. White stripe behind eyes and along 

 the back is much broader and more extensive in front of ears. A 

 moderately broad line commences just back of shoulder and runs 

 parallel with the lateral line above described and crosses up to the 

 back in front of hips. The corresponding line in .S. latifrons is merely 

 a broad patch from back to front of hips. General color is a clear 

 black, the markings pure white. 



Measurements. Total length, 320; tail vertebrae, 104; pencil, 60;
