Specimens examined. — Two: Nos. 462/1662, 572, U. S. 

 Nat. Mus.; No. 462/1662: original label missing; from other 

 labels attached we learn that the specimen is from Shoalwater 

 Bay, W. T., and that it was collected by J. G. Cooper in June, 

 1854. No. 572 : obverse of a label, apparently in Cooper's 

 handwriting "No. 16 W. T. '54 J. G. C." ; reverse, seven meas- 

 urements and sex, "male.": another label attached reads "N. 

 Pacific R. R. Survey Gov. I. I. Stevens 572 Neotoma occident- 

 alis 6 Shoalwater Bay, W. T. Dr. J. G. Cooper." This speci- 

 men is the type of occidentalis. For additional details regard- 

 ing it see Lyon and Osgood (1909, pp. 102-103). 



Both these examples of Neotoma cinerea occidentalis have 

 been made over into modern study skins. The skull of No. 

 462/1662 is in good condition, except that the posterior portion 

 of the cranium has been cut ofif and the angular processes of the 

 mandibles are broken.
