5547. In filcohol. Maracaibo, Venezuela. Young female. Cata-

*VespertiIio tenuidorsalis H. Allen, 



Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelpliia 18: 283, ordered published Aug. 28, 1866. 

 =Myotis calif oryiicits cnlifornicus (Audubon and Bachman). See Miller, 

 North Amer. Fauna 13 : 69, Oct. 16, 1897. 



H. Allen says, "One individual. 9 . No. 5533. Mus. Smith- 

 sonian Institution. Alcohol. Cape St. Lucas, Lower California, 

 Mexico. John Xantus." There is some mistake in the number, 

 as the catalog number 5533 calls for a "F. nitidus, Puget Sound." 



This specimen cannot be found in the National Museum. James A. G. 

 Rehn has informed us that it is now in the collection of the Academy of 

 Natural Sciences of Philadelphia.

A Monograph of the Bats of North America, p. 58, June 1864. 

 =Myotis yumanensis yuutanensis (H. Allen). See Miller, North Amer. Fauna 

 18: 66, Oct. 16, 1897. 



No type designated. Four specimens were measured : 5367, 6019, 6020, 

 and 6021. All must be considered as cotypes; no preference for one over 

 the other was shown ; and all came from one locality. Old Fort Yuma, 

 Imperial County, Calif., where they had been collected by G. H. Thomas 

 in 1855. All were in alcohol. None of these specimens can be found. In 

 his "List of Specimens" Allen says that 36 individuals were under No. 5367. 

 The catalog says eight bore that number.

The specimen should be in the Museum, with other U. S. Exploring 

 Expedition material, but nothing is known of it. Cassin, U. S. Exploring
