*As there is no possible means of knowing just "what these records of 

 humilis were founded on, they are all assumed to refer to the northern form 

 •which is here called modicella. By this treatment all of the references are 

 brought together. Several references from the south (Louisiana. Texas. New 

 Mexico may have been founded on the true humilis. but the author has not 

 been able to verify them.
