*Spermophilus armatus Kennicott. Cotypes. 



Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia 15 : 158, ordered published June 30, 1863. 

 = [Citellu8'\ armatus (Kennicott). See Trouessart, Catalogus Mammalium 

 tam Viventium quam Fossilium, Suppl., p. 339, 1904. 



No numbers are mentioned in the original description. Kennicott briefly 

 described four new spermophiles in the collection of the Smithsonian In- 

 stitution, collected by C. Drexler at Fort Bridger, Utah, now Wyoming. 

 Consequently, all the specimens from Fort Bridger taken by Drexler and 

 in the National collection before 1863 are evidently cotypes of the species. 



The extant specimens from Fort Bridger collected by Drexler are listed 

 below. All their labels have armatus written on them, possibly by Kenni- 

 cott's own hand, and they are entered in the catalog as Spermophilus 

 armatus. The skins were all collected April to June 1858, and the speci- 

 mens in alcohol were probably taken at the same time.
