exactly the same below as above, without trace of whitish on 
under parts. The feet may have been white, but it is impossible 
to tell from this specimen. 
Behind each ear there is a patch of fulvous-tipped hairs, and it 
is possible that a superficial wash of this color was spread over 
much of the upper parts where the tips of the hairs have been 
singed off. The skull shows that the animal from which it came 
was full grown, but not quite adult. The grinding down of the 
molar teeth has only recently begun; consequently the deep pli- 
cations along their sides are of unusual length. The enamel of the 
front upper molar forms two well-marked re-entrant angles of the 
inner side of the tooth. The pattern of the crowns of “the molar 
teeth in both jaws is the same as in eastern specimens of flori- 
dana of corresponding age. The incisive foramina extend poste- 
riorly beyond the plane of the anterior roots of the first molars. 
The pterygoid fossa is narrow, as in all the western forms of the 
enus,—very unlike its condition in eastern floridana. The con- 
dyloid process of the mandible is decidedly longer than in any 
of the other species. The zygomatic breadth is “noticeably less 
than in the other members of the genus, which may be due in 
part to the immaturity of the individual, the zygome usually 
last character, however, is common to the western representatives 
of the genus. 
Comparison with the western forms of the floridana type has 
: been intentionally withheld because of the unsatisfactory if not 
ies condition in which these forms have been left by recent
