iV/s- Skin and skull. Santa Catarina (not on modern maps; see 

 Baird, Mammals of North America, p. 713), a few miles west of 

 Montere\', Nuevo Leon, Mexico. April, 1853. Cvollected by Lieut. 

 D. N. Couch, U. S. A. Catalogued December 20, 1854. 



The specimen \va.s formerly mounted, but it has recently been made a study 

 skin, in fair condition. Some hair has slipped from the underparts. Instead of 

 being the "glossy black" described by Baird, it is now a blackish brown, prob- 

 ably due to exposure to light and consequent bleaching. Skull has left malar, 

 left incisors, and the posterior parts involving the occipital bones, and left l)ulla, 

 wanting. 



Type not designated by number, but the measurements given in the original 

 description agree exactly with those of No. jWo given by Baird in Mammals of 

 North America, p. 312.
