Genus Oreamnos 144). 



In the Proceedings of* the Biological Society of Washington, XXV> 

 1912, p. 185, Mr. Hollister in a paper on the species of this genus shows 

 that the names of three must be changed as follows: 



Oreamnos americanus americanus (Blainville) . 



Ovis montanus Ord, Outline's Geog., 2d. Amer. ed., II, 1915, p. 292 

 (nee Ovis montana, Schreb., 1804; nee Ovis montana Tiedemann 

 1908).

GenL Char. Smaller than 0. cervina; honis lighter, in shape like 

 those of 0. stonei, but with less spread. 



As it was supposed that there were no typical examples of this 

 species in any museum, this form was considered synonymous with 

 O. cervina, but Mr. Hollister has stated, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., XXV, 

 1912, p. 187, that a specimen has been presented to the National 

 Museum from the Methow River, Washington, and that it is a valid 

 species.
