MAP 44— RANGE OF THE NORTH AMERICAN OTTERS. 



(Excluding the Sea-otter) 



This map is founded chiefly on records by E. Coues, C. Hart Merriam, D. G. Elliot. E. W. Nelson, R. MacFarlane. C. H. Townsend, E. A. 

 Preble, J. Fannin, V. Bailey. A. P. Low, A. E. Verrill. 



The lines are fairly well established, except in the Southwest. I find no records for the unmarked region. Anticoste should have been tinted. 



The following are recognized: 



Luira canadensis (Schreber) with S races. Ltiira ixriclyzomae Elliot, 



Luira Jegenet Bangs, Lutra anneclcns Forsyth-Major, from Central America.
