 37606 ' -^ ' 



Wash. January 13, 1854. Collected by George Suckley, Pacific 

 Railroad Survey. Original number 1. 



Specimen made into a modern study skin with skull removed (November 

 1898). The skin is in fair condition, but the left foreleg is lacking. Only 

 that part of the skull anterior to the brain case and the right half of the 

 mandible are present. 



In the original description Baird did not designate a type. He gave 

 three measurements: "Head and body 9 inches, tail vertebrae 4yo inches, 

 to tip of hairs 6 inches." In 1857 (Mammals of North America) he pub- 

 lished further details (p. 276). Specimen No. 270, in the table on page 278, 

 being the only one whose measurements agree with those given in the 

 original description, is taken as the type.
