 Nat. Mus. ; No. 5264, Mus. Comp. Zool. Harvard Univ. No.

No. 1185 in poor condition, original stuffing removed, except 

 for wads of cotton in the regions of chest and head. Skull 

 removed; hole torn in head near left ear; fore feet disposed 

 irregularly in throat region ; hind feet and tail pointing straight 

 out behind; bones left in tail, as usual. Parietal portion of 

 cranium (No. 2040) broken; nasal bones and upper incisor 

 teeth broken off, left lower incisor missing. No. 5624 is not 

 stuffed; skin of abdomen slit up nearly five inches; tail not 

 skinned, broken off from skin and tied to right hind foot ; por- 

 tion of skin about head torn off. The cranium numbered 2041

 skull (No. 2041) is in fragments.
