Ridgway (U.S. Geological Exploration of the 40th Parallel 3: 524, 1877), 

 set up Nos. 53639 and 53640 as the types. I look upon his action as a mere 

 restriction of type locality and consider each of his seven specimens from 

 Carson City as an equivalent cotype. 



No. 53634, a male, cannot now be found in the museum. Nos. 53635 and 

 53637 were at some time in the private collection of Robert Ridgway (and 

 were given respectively his Nos. 110 and 109) ; since, in accordance with 

 his custom, the original labels were removed and presumably destroyed, 

 these skins were, many years later, entered into the register under the Nos. 

 83936 and 83935, as if they were new accessions to the museum collection.
