This specimen was ihot by Mr. J. K. Townsend, on the north branch of the Platte river, in the 

 Rocky Mountains. Some twenty or thirty of the same species were seen by the party with wluch Mr, 

 Townsend travelled, but, unforturujtely, the present was the only specimen procured. Dr. Ilachman, 

 before writing hit description of this new tminuJ, visited the principal museums in Europe with the 

 view of finding another individual of the same species, but was unsuccessful. This therefore is an 

 unique specimen. '
