 does not appear to extend into the eastern part of the Temtory ; at least, its 

 presence there remained undetected by us, though search was made for it. 



Critical discussion of the relationships of this species to C. auratus will 

 be found in the works of Baird, Allen, and Coues, as above quoted.
