CATALOG OF TYPE SPECIMENS OF MAMMALS 123 



The specimen was a dry skin until September 27, 1890, when it was 

 placed in alcohol by Gerrit S. Miller, Jr., who made a note of the color at 

 that time: "Belly wood bi'own, back between wood brown and russet. 9, 

 27, '99." It is in good condition. 



Type not designted by number, but there is not the slightest doubt that 

 this is the specimen mentioned by Peale.
