  certainly 
  pertains 
  to 
  pinchaque. 
  It 
  may 
  be 
  necessary 
  to 
  restrict 
  the 
  

   type 
  of 
  leucogenys 
  to 
  ttie 
  skull 
  only. 
  The 
  young 
  individual 
  described 
  

   by 
  Gray 
  as 
  "Tapinis 
  leucogenys 
  jun., 
  or 
  T. 
  aenigmaticus" 
  if 
  correctly 
  

   figured 
  (pi. 
  21, 
  and 
  skull, 
  p. 
  491) 
  must 
  be 
  regarded 
  as 
  T. 
  terrestris. 
  

   The 
  skin 
  of 
  this 
  specimen 
  may 
  be 
  that 
  of 
  a 
  mountain 
  tapir 
  but 
  the 
  

   skull 
  as 
  figured 
  by 
  Gray 
  is 
  unquestionably 
  that 
  of 
  a 
  lowland 
  tapir. 
  

   Indeed, 
  Gray 
  (pp. 
  484, 
  491, 
  492) 
  questioned 
  both 
  locahty 
  data 
  and 
  the 
  

   association 
  of 
  skin 
  and 
  skull 
  as 
  given 
  by 
  the 
  collector, 
  Clarence 
  

   Buckley. 
  Present 
  determination 
  of 
  types 
  and 
  type 
  locahties 
  of 
  

   Gray's 
  specimens 
  follow

  In 
  addition 
  to 
  specimens 
  examined 
  by 
  the

  there 
  is 
  a 
  moimted 
  

   skin 
  and 
  skeleton 
  and 
  a 
  skull 
  only 
  from 
  Ecuador 
  in 
  the 
  Museum 
  

   of 
  Comparative 
  Zoology 
  and 
  two

  (Cordillera 
  Oriental), 
  Ecuador, 
  in

  Sciences

  The 
  species 
  is
