Ovis dalli kenaiensis, Allen, Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist, xvi, pp. 145, 

 219, 1902, vol. xxxvii, p. 28, 1912. 



Typical locality Kenai Peninsula, Alaska. 



Distinguished from dalli by the shorter posterior nares 

 in the skull, and the consequent approximation of the 

 mastoid process to the last molar ; the interval between the 

 two being 94 mm. against 84 mm. in dalli. Correlated with 

 this is a difference in the angle made ]jy the Ijasioccipital 

 axis with the palatal axis. The cheek-teetli are stated to be 

 larger, and the tooth row more curved. 



The distributional area is stated to be completely isolated 

 from that of dalli. 



No specimen in the collection.
