According to Elliot (Field Columb. Mus., publ. 45, zool. ser., vol. 2, p. 46, 



March, 1901), the publication of this name in the year 1804 is so questionable 



that the animal should be known as Ovis cervina Desmarest (Nouv. diet. 



'hist, nat., vol. 24, p. 5, 1804), a name based on the same specimen ae 



Shaw's canadensis. See also Allen, Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., vol. 31,
