Luehdorf’s Wapiti (C. c. wehdorfi) appears to differ from ranthopygus 
by not turning red in summer. The type specimen came from Trans- 
baikalia, and was probably brought from the Bureatish Steppe of 
Northern Manchuria. 
The Obi Wapiti (C. c. dzedermannz) comes from Lake Teletz at the 
source of the Obi, and Barnoul, lower down the same valley.
