The specimen has been remade into a modern study skin and is in 

 good condition ; skull Grade B. 



In the original description (p. 705) J. A. Allen mentions four specimens, 

 all taken at Merida by Schott. In the table of measurements, on page 

 711, three of them are referred to by number : 8502, 8503, and 8505. These 

 should be regarded as cotypes. Unfortunately, Nos. 8502 and 8505 cannot 

 be found. The fourth specimen, not referred to by number and hence 

 regarded as a paratype, is in good condition and in the collection. It is 

 about half or two-thirds grown, and entered as No. 8504.

former station of the United States-Mexican Boundary Survey, 



subsequently called Fort Webster. Not indicated clearly whether

quite complete except for the tail, which is rather fragmentary; skull 



Grade A.
