~^' Skin (skull lost). San Francisco, San Francisco County, 



Calif. Received from R. S. Williamson ; collected by J. S. New- 

 berry. Cataloged December 31, 1855. 



Well-made skin in good condition ; skull cannot be found. 



No type was designated in the original description, and in the descrip- 

 tion itself there is nothing to show that Baird had in mind any particular 

 one of his five specimens collected at three localities. The specimens 

 labeled "Presidio" probably came from Monterey, as is seen by reading the 

 original labels and the entry in the catalog. On plate 13, Baird figures 

 the entire animal but does not state which specimen ; however, on plate 58 a 

 skull is figured and referred to by number, 2045. As this specimen seems to 

 be mentioned more particularly than any other specimen, it seems well to 

 take it as the type. San Francisco, Calif., is thus made the type locality, 

 in agreement with Miller and Rehn, Proc. Boston Soc. Nat. Hist. 30: 185, 

 Dec. 1901.
