1934. Lepus arcticus monstrabilis Nelson, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, vol. 47,

 of range westward unknown; presumably occurs sporadically and intergrading 

 with groenlandicus on coast of northwest Greenland (Anderson, Nat. Mus. Can- 

 ada Bull. 102 ( 1946) , p. 99, Jan. 24, 1947) .

 from about Disko Bay, south of which it intergrades with porsildi, north to ex- 

 treme northern tip of Greenland at about lat. 83° 40' N., and to a little beyond 

 Cape Dalton south of Scoresby Sound, approximately lat. 70° N. (Anderson,
