Typical locality Lake Teletzk, at the source of the Obi, 

 and Barnaul, somewhat lower down the same valley. 



According to Matschie's description, the beam of the 

 antlers is but slightly curved and forms an almost continuous 

 line with the axis of the fourth tine, which is relatively 

 small ; no inward bending occurs till the fourth tine, the tip 

 forms a long-handled fork, and the maximum span occurs at 

 the root of the fourth tine, as in the Sayansk race, but the 

 terminal fork inclines only slightly inwards, so that in a 

 front view it is concealed by the fourth tine, which in 

 sibiricus inclines outwards. 



No specimen in collection.
