_Type._--Female, young, part skull and skin; no. 8515, Acad. Nat.
Sci. Philadelphia; Hudson's, Pasco County [14 miles north of
Tarpon Springs], Florida; before 1895; obtained by W. S.
Dickinson.
The skull has been cut vertically in two at the plane of the
glenoid fossae. These fossae and all the cranium posterior to them
are missing. In addition to the part of the cranium anterior to
the glenoid fossae, the lower jaws are preserved complete. The
teeth all are present and entire. The prominent sutures on the
rostrum and palate show the specimen to be young and its small
size leaves but little doubt that the animal was a female. The
light facial markings are more extensive than in any of the
referred specimens. In the type these light facial markings
consist of a median isolated spot immediately in front of the
ears, a larger one on the nose, with an interrupted bar on each
side extending posteroventrally in front of and anterior to the
eye, a wider bar, on each side, extending anterodorsally between
the ear and eye and finally an isolated spot at the anterior
border of each ear. The skin is stuffed and in fair condition
except that the vertebrae remain in the tail.
_Range._--Austral and probably Tropical life-zones of Florida
south of latitude 29°. See figure 29 on page 221.
