_Type._--Male, adult, skull, os penis and skin; no. 5459,
collection of E. A. and O. Bangs, but now in collection of Mus.
Comp. Zoöl.; Point Reyes, Marin County, California; June 19,
1896; obtained by C. A. Allen; original no. 931. (See comments
under "Remarks," below, on places in California to which the name
Point Reyes has been applied.)
The skull (pls. 19-21, 30) is complete and unbroken. I1 on each
side and right I2 are broken away; p2 and p3 on each side have
been aborted and the only alveoli remaining are two for the right
p3. Otherwise all teeth are present and entire. The skin is fairly
well made and in good condition.
Cranially, the type is a "runt"; its small size and the
circumstance that the tympanic bulla is longer than the lower
molar and premolar tooth-row and longer than the rostrum are
features which differentiate the type from any other specimen seen
of this race.
_Range._--Sea level to at least 6,000 feet (South Yolla Bolly
Mountain, Trinity County, California); Upper Sonoran and
Transition life-zones of the coast and Coast Range of northwestern
California from the Golden Gate northward into southern Humboldt
and Trinity counties. See figures 29 and 30 on pages 221 and 314.
