18 BANGS — LABRADOR MAMMALS 2 
Putorius (Arctogale) cicognanii cicognanii (Bonap.). 
Six specimens, all in summer pelage. These, like all other 
Labrador weasels I have examined, are true /?. cicognanit. ‘They 
can be exactly matched by specimens from Quebec, Nova Scotia, 
Maine, Massachusetts, and even Connecticut, with which I have 
carefully compared them. 
The weasel of Newfoundland, on the other hand, is not true 
cicognanit, though it is closely related to it. Strangely enough, it 
is inseparable, as far as all characters by which we compare such 
things go, from the geographically remote P. cécognanit richardsonit, 
The six Black Bay specimens measure as follows (in milli- 
meters).
