Not obtained by Captain Eaynolds' Expedition. 



Occurs with the preceding, under similar conditions, and in equal 

 abundance. 



This species appears to be more numerous and generally distributed 

 east of the Eocky Mountains than on the Pacific side, where, however, 

 a doubt of its occurrence is no longer entertained.
