jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid

I want to say I have researched the forum extensively and although I have seen helpful information on how to deal with creating a "Select" using the DataURL declaration I am having no luck.  I keep getting an empty select in both the Add & Edit form.

I am using V3.5

My ColModel is:

            $('#filter').jqm();
            var selectedRow = 0;
            $("#list").jqGrid(
            {
                url:'speciesType.cfc?method=getSpeciesType', //CFC that will return the users
                datatype: 'json', //We specify that the datatype we will be using will be JSON
                colNames:['ID','Species Type','SpeciesID','OwnerID','UserID'], //Column Names
                /*
                The Column Model to define the data. Note you can make columns non sortable, specify width, alignment, etc.
                We also specify the editoptions, edittype=text shows a nice textbox for inline edit.
                We have also specified Edit Rules, to say which fields are required/not required for add/edit
                */
                colModel :[
                    {name:'typeID',index:'typeID', width:50,resizable:false, sorttype:"int",resizable:false,editrules:{readonly:true}},
                    {name:'typeDesc',index:'typeDesc', width:250,resizable:false, sorttype:"text",editable:true,edittype:"text",editoptions:{size:30,maxlength:50},editrules:{required:true}},
                    {name:'speciesId',index:'speciesId', width:50, editable:true, edittype:'select', editoptions:{dataUrl:'selectlist.cfm', defaultValue:'1'}},
               
                    {name:'ownerId',index:'ownerId', width:75,resizable:false, align:"left",sorttype:"int",editable:true,edittype:"text",editoptions:{size:30,maxlength:50},editrules:{required:true}},
                    {name:'userId',index:'userId', width:75,resizable:false, align:"left",sorttype:"int",editable:true,edittype:"text",editoptions:{size:30,maxlength:50},editrules:{required:true}}
                ],   

My 'selectlist.cfm' is :

<select name="list">
  <option value="1">One</option>
  <option value="2">Two</option>
  <option value="3">Three</option>
</select>

Any insight into what I am doing incorrectly would greatly be appreciated.
