Collected })y Dr. J. G. Cooper. Ori<j;iii;il nuiiiher 10. Northern 

 Fucitic Kailroad Survey, GoveriiDr I. I. Stevens. Catalogued 

 March U, 1855. 



According to records, specimen lias Int'ii mounted, but has been made into 

 a well-made study skin which has the appearance of l)einjj; considerably bleached 

 and discolored by age and exposure. The ears are somewhat ragged, and a 

 small spot on nose, another on crown, and one on throat have the hair and epi- 

 dermis missing. 



Type not designated by number. It is indicated as coming from Shoahvater 

 Bay and collected by Doctor Cooper. In the original description the dimen- 

 sions are "Head and body 10 inches. Tail vertebra 8/t inches." By referring 

 to Baird's Mammals of North America, page 497, where detailed measurements 

 of the only three specimens from Shoahvater Bay are given, it is seen that the 

 above figures belong to No. 572 only, which is therefore considered the type.
