Type.— None specified. The original three specimens are not 
known to be still in existence. 
Type Locality— Oregon, on the lower Columbia River. Townsend, 
(1839, p. 325) who collected the types, says that they frequent “the 
store houses attached to the forts”’ hence it is probable that since The 
Dalles, Fort Walla Walla, Vancouver, Fort George, and Astoria, 
were the forts visited, one of these furnished the three skins he col- 
lected. 
Distribution The humid coast region from Vancouver Island, 
British Columbia, southward to San Francisco, California, intergrad- 
ing with pallescens here, as well as in north central California. Inland 
it extends over most of (?) Washington, Oregon, and the western half 
of northern California. 
General Characters— A dark-colored race, characterized by the 
blackish bases of the hairs, with contrasted brown tips above, and pale 
brown wash below.
