collection for many years. No. 368, which may be considered as a cotype, 

 is, through the kindness of Mr. True, no"w before me. It is, however, 

 almost valueless for purposes of comparison, having become greatly faded 

 from long exposure to light as a mounted specimen; it has also lost its 

 ears and is in a sad plight generally. This is the only skin extant posi- 

 tively referred to by Baird in his original account of the species of H. 

 go/mbelii." 



In a footnote on page 191, op. cit., Allen skillfully eliminates from his 

 cotypes a large number of specimens from various localities that Baird 

 lists in the original description. 



Skin No. 368 is in very poor condition, much faded and without ears; 

 No. 369 cannot be found. Skull No. 1282, Grade A ; No. 1283, Grade A.

*Hesperomys gossypinus LeConte. Cotype. 



Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia 6: 411, this paper was reported favor- 

 ably for publication Oct. 25, 1853. 



=Peromysciis possypinus (LeConte). See Rhoads, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila- 

 delphia, 1896, p. 189, Apr. 21, 1896. 



546. Skin. Male. Georgia; probably the LeConte plantation, 

 near Riceboro, Liberty County. September 13, 1847. Collected 

 by J. E. LeConte. It cannot be found. 



4704. Skin, skull inside. Georgia; probably the LeConte planta- 

 tion, near Riceboro, Liberty County. Collected by J. E. LeConte. 

 Cataloged April 13, 1861. 



Skin in fair condition, but bones left in tail ; skull still in the skin. 



As this is the only one of LeConte's original specimens extant in the 

 National Museum, it is perhaps well to treat it as a cotype. 



No. 516 is the only specimen from Georgia listed in Baird's Mammals of 

 North America. Later, other specimens from LeConte, taken in Georgia, 

 came into the collection — 4704, 4705, and 4711. Of these, 4704 is the only 

 one that can be found. The published measurements of 546, both in 

 Baird's Mammals of North America, page 469, and in Coues's Monographs 

 of North American Rodentia, page 78, more nearly agree with the meas- 

 urements of the original description than the measurements of any of the 

 others.
