Hist., 16:259, August 18, type from Caparo, Trinidad. In listing the subspecific names given immediately above we are aware of the possibility that a thorough study of the geographic variation in _Didelphis marsupialis_ may contract or expand the list of recognizable subspecies. We are aware also that Hershkovitz (Fieldiana: Zoology, 31 (No. 47):548, July 10, 1951) has arranged several of the subspecific names listed immediately above as synonyms of _Didelphis marsupialis californica_ Bennett. We have not employed his arrangement because he has not given proof that the currently recognized subspecies are indistinguishable. ~Caluromys derbianus canus~ (Matschie) Matschie (Sitzungsberichte der Gesellschaft Naturforschender Freunde zu Berlin, Jahrgang 1917, p. 284 (for April), September, 1917) applied the name _Micoureus canus_ to a specimen on which the locality was no more precise than Nicaragua. Comparison of Matschie's description with specimens in the United States National Museum (including the holotype of _Philander centralis_ Hollister and referred specimens of _Philander laniger pallidus_ Thomas) reveals that Matschie's specimen was intermediate in coloration between the other two kinds of woolly opossums named above and t
