Two other forms of wapiti have been described from North 
America, namely, C. canadensis merriamt, of the White Mountains, 
Arizona, and C. canadensis nannodes, of the San Joaquin Valley, 
California. The latter is a small, pale-coloured race, with much white 
on the ears, a small rump-patch, and the front of the legs and feet 
golden fulvous. 
C.—TIAN-SHAN WAPITI (C. canadensis songaricus). 
Judging by the mounted specimen in the British Museum and 
numerous examples of the antlers, this race differs from the typical 
wapiti by the rump-patch being narrower, more orange in colour, and 
not including the middle line of the tail, which is coloured like the 
back. There is more black on the borders of the rump-patch, the 
thighs, and the flanks, and the general colour is greyer. The antlers 
are very large and have the fourth tine shorter and stouter. This 
wapiti inhabits the Tian-Shan range in the neighbourhood of 
Kulja; it was first described by Dr. Severtzow under the name 
of C. maral, var. songarica, and subsequently by Dr. Blanford, on 
the evidence of detached antlers obtained by the Second Yarkand 
Mission, as C. eustephanus.
