 now be found. 



*Cervus lewisii Peale. 



U. S. Exploring Expedition 8 (Mamm. and Ornith.) : 59, 1848. 

 =Odocoileus hcmionus columhianus (Richardson). See Cowan, California 

 Fish and Game 22: 215, July 1936. 



There should be two cotypes, one killed on Feather River, upper Cali- 

 fornia, the other killed at the Bay of San Francisco. According to Peale, 

 1S48, p. 40, the Feather River skin was lost in the Sacramento River. 

 The antlers (and ? frontlets) of both of these specimens as well as the skin 

 of the San Francisco Bay animal wei'e originally in the National Institute, 

 and, presumably some years later, they were transferred to the Smith- 

 sonian Institution. They cannot be found at pi-esent. 



Two specimens, one comprising a stuffed skin and a frontlet with small 

 antlers (No. 1487) and the other a stuffed skin without skull (No. 1488), 

 are recorded as having been collected by Titian R. Peale in Oregon, and 

 are marked "typical of the description." After the U. S. Exploring Ship 

 Peacock was wrecked on the Columbia Rivor bar on July 18, 1841, Peale 

 became a member of the party under the leadership of Lt. George T. 

 Emmons, which traveled overland during September and October 1841 

 from Vancouver in the Willamette Valley to San Francisco, Calif. (Charles 

 Wilkes, Narrative of the U. S. Exploring Expedition, 1838-42, 5: 231-266, 

 1844). It would therefore have been quite possible for Peale to have 

 collected specimens other than the types.
