1 Oryzomys chrysomelas Allen was originally recorded (Allen, Bull. Ainer. mus. nat. 
hist., Ill, p. 210, April 17,1891) as Hesperomys [= Akodoa ] caliginosus Tomes. 
2 In 1894 Merriam published a partial revision of .this group (Proc. acad. nat. sci. 
Phila., 1894, pp. 225-252, September 24,1894). 
sThe bushy-tailed species (N. cinerea and its allies) are regarded by Merriam (Proc. 
biol. soc. Washington, viii, p. 112, July 31, 1893, and Proc. acad. nat. sci. Phila, 1894, 
p. 242, September 24,1894) as forming the subgenus Teonoma Gray (List of the specimens 
of mammalia in the British museum, p. 117, 1843). As the boundaries between this group 
and typical Neotoma have not been clearly defined, no attempt is here made to maintain 
the distinction.
