Skull Grade A. 



When describing this form Professor Baird had three specimens, an 

 old female and two adult males, all collected at "Coppermines," N. Mex. In 

 describing the skull he wrote: "I shall select a middle aged skull to serve 

 as the type of my description." The female, No. 994, is old, having the 

 crownsi and incisors considerably worn. The two males are the only 

 ones listed in the table of measurements. Written in ink on skull 

 number 991 are the words "Glossy black, hair, long." On skull No. 992 

 is written "Brown bear, not fully grown." No. 992 is the only one of the 

 original specimens that is middle aged and brown, the color that Baird 

 considered as the most usual. We therefore designate it as the lectotype.
