MISSING TYPE SPECIMENS 



TYPE SPECIMENS THAT SHOULD BE IN THE NATIONAL MUSEUM 

 COLLECTION, BUT OF WHICH NO PART CAN NOW BE FOUND 



*Lasiurus intermedius H. Allen. 



Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia 14 : 246, ordered published Apr. 29, 1862. 

 —Dasypterus intermedins (H. Allen). See H. Allen, U. S. Nat. Mus. Bull. 43: 

 137, Mar. 14, 1894. 



6135. In alcohol. Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico. Received 

 from D. N. Couch (Berlandier collection). Cataloged February 

 7, 1863. 



In H. Allen's original description (1862) a table of measurements is 

 given, and, by referring to p. 26 of the same author's Monograph of the 

 Bats of North America (June 1864) it can be seen that those measurements 

 refer to the last specimen in the original table. Unfortunately this indi- 

 vidual was not given a number. However, by checking off the six pre- 

 ceding numbers in the "List of specimens" (186)4) it is made clear that 

 the single unnumbered specimen in the original table of measurements 

 must have been No. 6136. Since that was the individual measured in the 

 original description, it is here regarded as the type. Of seven paratypes 

 listed in the original description, No. 6135 is the only one that can now be 

 found. 



*Macrotus californicus Baird. 



Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia 10 : 116, presented for publication May 

 4, 1858. 



2347. In alcohol. Old Fort Yuma, Imperial County, Calif., on 

 right bank of Colorado River, opposite present town of Yuma, 

 Ariz. Collected by G. H. Tliomas. Cataloged March 27, 1857. 



Specimen cannot be found. H. Allen evidently had it in 1894. See p. 39, 

 A Monograph of the Bats of North America, March 14, 1894. 



Type not designated by number in original description. That Baird 

 had only one specimen is implied ; and a table of measurements is given 

 agreeing exactly with those published for No. 2347 in Baird's Report U. S. 

 and Mex. Bound. Surv. 2 (pt. 2) : 4, 1859.
