142 U.S. NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN 221 



81893. Adult (sex not indicated). Mountains of Boulder County, Colo- 

 rado. Collected by Martha Ann Dartt (Mrs. James A. Maxwell). Re- 

 ceived from Robert Ridgway, of whose private collection it formed a 

 part. 

 84447. Adult (sex not indicated). Same data as No. 81893. 

 The total number of cotypes is not now known ; Ridgway referred simply 

 to specimens in his own collection and in Mrs. Maxwell's Colorado Museum. 

 At least one other (USNM 81894) was in the Ridgway Collection, but, al- 

 though it was entered into the museum register as a "type," tlie fact that it 

 is a juvenile seems to remove it from serious consideration in this respect.

 Asa Wall. 

 Asa Wall of Virginia was appointed Assistant Surgeon in the United 

 States Army on August 29, 1856, and seems to have been first stationed at 

 Fort Capron, an installation on the mainland opposite Indian River Inlet 

 (Fort Pierce Inlet) . The type locality of this form might then be restricted 

 to the vicinity of Saint Lucie, Saint Lucie County, Florida, a town virtually 

 on the site of the old fort.
