f^i^ecimen formerly mounted, l>ut since made into a modern .«tud y skin. Baird 

 in Mammals of North America and Woodhouse in the original description speak 

 of skulls that have not yet lost their milk teeth. These skulls can not now be 

 found nor is there any record of them in the iNIuseum catalogue. 



No type designated. The two specimens procured by Dr. S. W. Woodhouse, a 

 male and a female, both young, do not appear to be mentioned by number in 

 Baird's Mammals, but 4105 and 410(5 are undoubtedly the two specimens that 

 Doctor Woodhouse had. The entry of 4105 reads: "" " {^Cunisldtratifi ■written 

 on line above] $ juv.. Red Fork of Ark., Aug. 1850, Capt. Sitgreaves, Dr. 

 Woodhouse, Type of C. frustror,'^ all in the old original handwriting. The 

 other sjjecimen, 4106 9 juv., has the same data, but is not marked "Type of 

 C.fradror." 



Heretofore the tyi)e-locality of Qinis fnistror has been stated to be Fort Gibson, 

 Indian Territory. This is the only locality mentioned in the original descrip- 

 tion, but tiiat is where Dr. S. W. Woodhouse "first saw" the animal. He does 

 not state where the specimens came from. That is found only l)y consulting 

 the Museum catalogue.
