As the original figure of this species is so poorly and even incor- 

 rectly drawn, I giye another of the type specimen. As may be seen, 

 Lesquereux'.s figure shows a curious prolongation on one side, but 

 this has been greatly exaggerated. The specimen is a little broader 

 on one side, but not to such an extent as might be .inferred from the 

 figure. The recent collections from the same localit}^ contain a fine, 

 nearly perfect example of this species, which shows it to l)e nearly 

 equilateral. 



Locality. — Van Horn's ranch. South Fork of rJohn Day Kiver, {il)out 

 12 miles west of Mount Vernon, Grant County, Oregon. Collected 1)y 

 Maj. Charles E. Bendire (U. S. Nat. Miis./Nos. 2475, S543) and Dr. 

 John C. Merriam (Mus. Univ. Cal., No. 8S4).

The collections made by Bendire contained three specimens that 

 were referred b}- Lesquereux as above indicated. They are all \'ery 

 fragmentary and can not be made out with satisfaction, yet it is rea- 

 sonably certain that only one species is represented, and in all proba- 

 bility they are the same as my Artocarpus californica. It was hoped 

 that late collections from these beds might contain specimens that 

 would clear up this question, but unfortunately they do not, and it 

 must remain open to revision.
