y^^. Skin, viscera in alcohol, and skeleton. Adult male. Georgi- 



21948 ' 



ana. Brevard County, Fla. Collected by William Wittfeld. Re- 

 ceived December 24, 1883. 



The whole specimen was originally in alcohol. It was then skinned, 

 mounted, and placed on exhibition. The skeleton was prepared and the 

 viscera put in alcohol. The mounted specimen has since been taken down 

 and prepared as a study skin, which is well made and in good condition 

 except for a small naked spot on tlH> right hip and the loss of many toenails. 

 Its color is much lighter than normal, from exix>sure to light and probably 

 from the effects of alcohol. The skeleton is in excellent condition. The 

 viscera, both abdominal and thoracic, are well preserved.
