Collected by E. D. Cope. 



Specimen in fair condition ; skull Grade A. 



No type designated. Cope took two specimens. The above seems to be one 

 of them. The entry in the original catalog reads: "Neosorex albi . . . is 

 (the omitted letters belong to a word root probably intended to mean 

 'cheek' instead of 'beard'). Profile Lake, N, H., type." The handwriting 

 is entirely different from any of the other handwritings in the catalog, 

 and it is certainly not Coi)e's.
