It is a matter of some geographical interest that Mr. Drexler 
obtained the true 7. fuscescens at Fort Bridger, in the Rocky 
Mountains, instead of 7. ustulatus, its western representative. 
The collections of the Smithsonian Institution do not contain 
specimens of this species from any point north of Fort Garry, nor 
south of the limits of the United States, although Mr. Lawrence has
