" Whether the specimens mentioned above are really the types may be open to question. A description 

 in manuscript was made by Duges from a specimen in Mexico and presumably sent from Mexico to August 

 Dumfiril in Paris. The Paris Museum had nine specimens of the same species. Drawings were made of 

 one, and the drawings published under the name Phrynosoma taurus Duges. Since the specimen figured 

 is the first description or indication, we believe that the original of the drawing becomes the type and this, 

 we believe, is a specimen in the Museum d'Histoire Naturelle de Paris. Thus the type specimen was 

 presumably never seen by the author of the name. The specimen described by Duges is in the Museum 

 "Alfredo Duges," Colegio del Estado de Guanajuato.
