 riW\S' Skin and .skull. Female. Fort Whipple, Arizona. Decem- 

 ber 20, 186;"). Collected l\v Dr. Elliott Cones. Skin catalogued 

 April 16, 18()«i; .skull, November 1, 181>8. 



Specimen has evidently l)een mounted, but it has been made intoag(jo<l study 

 skin. The floor of the brain-case has been broken out, otherwise the .skull is 

 complete. 



In the catalogue, No. 8475 is recorded as having been collected on December 

 6, 1864. Dr. Coues says {loc. cit.): The only specimen he obtained was shot 

 December 20, 1865. Dr. Allen, in his list, on page 741, Monographs of North 

 American Rodentia, gives the same date, probably taken from Cones, who was 

 working with him, or from an original label which is now lost. Dr. Cou<>s refers 

 to no number as type in his description, but Dr. Allen, ten years later, in table 

 {loc. cit.), under "Remarks," states that specimen no. 8475 is the type of 

 S. arizonensis. 



In the skull catalogue under "Remarks" is written: "Skull taken from 

 mounted type, not naturally attached to skin, and it is very doubtful if it is the 

 type skull." Oct. 31/98."
