M This specimen, U. S. N. M. No. 30833, very likely represents a distinct species (see Taylor, loc. eft., 

 p. 353) , but we hesitate to attempt a characterization of it because of certain obvious abnormalities the speci- 

 men possesses, and because of its intimate and entirely uncertain relationship with populations farther to 

 the north In Arizona and New Mexico.
