38660 



Collected by C. B. R. Kennerly. Cataloged October 31, 1861. 



In the original description specimens are mentioned from the upper Mis- 

 souri River and the Pacific coast from Puget Sound to Cape San Lucas. 

 Miller, North Amer. Fauna 13 : 77, Oct. 16, 1897, selected Monterey, Calif., 

 as the type locality, whereby the specimen from that place became, according 

 to Lyon and Osgood (1909) , the lectotype. However, in 1894, H. Allen (p. 90) 

 had described a specimen from Easton, Wash., as representing what he con- 

 sidered "typical V. evotis of the Monograph" (1864). Easton lies about 55 

 miles inland from Puget Sound. Mill(>r and G. M. Allen, U. S. Nat. Mus. Bull. 

 144, May 25, 1928, in their list of recogi^ized forms of American Myotis (p. 10), 

 erroneously gave "Near Colville, Wash." as the type locality, but correctly 

 stated the facts in the body of their text on p. 115, where they show that 

 "Puget Sound" is the true type locality. H. Allen originally had three 

 specimens from this region, all taken at "Puget Sound." As one of these 

 (No. 5391) is still in the National Museum, it may be made the lectotype. 



Skin in fair condition ; left wing missing ; hair has sloughed on left side
