H?^!' Skin and skull. Adult nial(\ Talamanca, Co.sta Rica. Late 

 in 1872 or early in 1878. Received from Prof. W. M. Gabb. Col- 

 lected by J. C. Zeledon. Orio-inal number 18. Skin cataloo-ued 

 1873; -skull, October 20, 1899. 



Specimen has been made over into a modern study skin, in good condition 

 and state of preservation. The skull is perfect, except for some chips out of the 

 a.scending ramus of the left half of the mandible. 



11372. Skin with skull inside; all data as above except orioinal 

 number, which is 19. Catalogued 1S73. 



As Dr. J. A. Allen states, this specimen is quite inunature and on the whole is 

 a wretched-looking object. It has never been made up into a modern study skin. 



Dr. Allen based this species on three specimens, all designated by number 

 on page ?>50, Monographs North American Rodentia. One of them, 8140, comes 

 from Chiriqui, and the other two numbers, 11371 and 11372, from Talanianca, 

 Costa Kica. No type or cotypes were designated. In order to avoid two type 

 localities for a single species, the two specimens from Talamanca are considered 

 a.s cotypes and the Chiricjui specimen as a paratype. This course seems perfectly 

 justifiable, as two-thirds of the specimens upon which the description was based 

 came from Talamanca, and the species is named in honor of the collector or, 

 rather, donor, and both of the Talamanca specimens came from Prof. Gabb, while 

 the Chiricpii specimen was collected by Fre<i Hicks.
