The following is an inventory of the fragments: (1) Both hind feet, 

 one of them with tibia attached ; (2) both forefeet, one of them with radius 

 and ulna attached, the other with radius and ulna detached ; a portion 

 of each humerus present; (3) a few small, almost unidentifiable frag- 

 ments of the skull; (4) all the upper molars, glued to a good-sized frag- 

 ment of the palate, the free ends of the incisors in small parts of the 

 premaxillaries ; (5) all of the lower jaw teeth except the last molar of the 

 left side ; the two other molars of that side are attached to a piece of the man- 

 dible ; incisors rather fragmentary. 



Type not designated by number. In the catalog, in the handwriting 

 of the original entry, the specimen is marked "Cope's type." The present 

 specimen is indicated as the type of Cones in Monographs of North 

 American Rodentia, pages 215 to 217, where it appears that the specimen 

 was in as bad condition in 1877 as it is now. One of Coues's labels, read- 

 ing "No. 10267, Type of Arvicola curtata Cope," is still attached to the 

 specimen.
