  OF 
  THE 
  NATIONAL 
  MUSE 
  CM. 
  

  

  This 
  is 
  a 
  very 
  distinctly 
  marked 
  variety 
  and 
  one 
  that 
  seeuis 
  to 
  be 
  

   entirely 
  confiued 
  to 
  the 
  West. 
  We 
  should 
  not 
  go 
  far 
  wrong 
  in 
  giving 
  

   it 
  specitic 
  rank, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  so 
  exactly 
  like 
  comes, 
  with 
  sim])ly 
  the 
  basal 
  

   angles 
  of 
  the 
  scutelluni 
  blackened, 
  that 
  I 
  have 
  not 
  thought 
  it 
  best 
  to 
  

   consider 
  it 
  more 
  than 
  a 
  variety 
  of 
  that 
  si)ecies.

  All 
  the 
  above 
  varieties 
  are 
  quite 
  sharply 
  defined, 
  and 
  one 
  who 
  has 
  

   not 
  specially 
  studied 
  the 
  group 
  would 
  be 
  very 
  likely 
  to 
  consider 
  them 
  

   different 
  s])ecies.
