Specimen in good state of preservation ; in February 1902 made into a 

 fair study skin. Left hindleg missing; tail not skinned out, the epidermis 

 slipped from 2 to 3 cm. of the tip. Skull Grade A. In the original descrip- 

 tion Allen remarks that there is no lower jaw. The present lower jaw was 

 found in the same vial with the rest of the skull. It was not numbered, 

 however, so there may be some doubt as to its being a part of the type 

 si)eclmen.
