No numbers are mentioned in the original description. Kennicott briefly 

 describes new spermophiles in the collection of the Smithsonian Institu- 

 tion. He speaks of Spermophilus elegans as coming from Fort Bridger, 

 Utah (now Wyo.), and collected by C. Drexler. Consequently all the speci- 

 mens from Fort Bridger collected by C. Drexler and in the collection prior 

 to 1863 become cotypes of the species. In the following list are included all 

 the known existing specimens from Fort Bridger collected by Drexler. The 

 labels all have elegans written on them, possibly in Kennicott's hand, and 

 they are entered in the catalog as Spermophilus elegans. The skins were 

 collected in April and May of 1858 and the alcoholics were probably taken 

 at the same time.
