1 Oryzomys chrysomelas Allen was originally recorded (Allen, Bull. Amer. mus. nat. 

 hist., in, p. 210, April 17, 1891) as Hesperomys [= Akodon ] caliginosus Tomes. 



2 In 1894 Merriam published a partial revision of this group (Proc. acad. nat. sci. 

 Phila., 1894, pp. 225-252, September 24, 1894). 



s The bushy-tailed species (N.cinerea and its allies) are regarded by Merriam (Proc. 

 biol. soc. Washington, vni, p. 112, July 31, 1893, and Proc. acad. nat. sci. Phila, 1894, 

 p. 242, September 24,1894) as forming the subgenus Teonoma Gray (List of the specimens 

 of mammalia in the British museum, p. 117, 1843). As the boundaries between this group 

 and typical Neotoma have not been clearly denned, no attempt is here made to maintain 

 t he distinction.
