^ Due to the many "species" described by Merriam, the taxonomy of N. American bears 

 is very confused (of. Simpson, 1945, p. 225, footnote). 



^ According to Rausch (1953, p. 95 a. f.) even the grizzly {Urstis horribilis Ord), with 

 its forms, belongs to the species U. arctos L. 



^ Usually regarded as distinct species. 



* Flerow (1934, p. 141 a. f.) treats cameloides {pfizenmayeri Zuk.) as sbsp. oi americanus, 

 which he regards as distinct species but, in 1952 (p. 207), he joins them as above. Vide also 

 Peterson (1952).
