fine old male. Here were also obtained about 140 small mammals, of species 

 nearly all new to the Museum's collections, including a large series of specimens 

 of Citellus stonei, a new species of large Spermophile discovered by Mr. Stone. The 

 large mammals taken on the Kenai Peninsula included 6 Moose, 16 White Sheep, 

 3 Bears, and 8 additional Kadiak Bear skulls from Kadiak Island. The sheep 

 were in good fall coat, and thus in excellent condition for mounting for a group; 

 those previously obtained were in the short summer coat and thus less desirable 

 for exhibition.

 men, including skeleton as well as skin, is the Ursus dalli gyas (Figs. 14-20, pp. 

 10-13), while the other specimens (nine skins with skulls, etc., for mounting and 

 one extra skull) are apparently not Ursus gyas, but a form of large Brown Bear 

 quite different from any of the other forms, and which has been described as 

 Ursus merriami (Figs. 21-24, PP- T 4, 15)- It differs markedly from gyas in cranial 

 characters and in external features, as the color, the texture of the pelage, and 

 the shape of the claws. The skulls and mounted specimens of both forms are
