The Scientific Classification of Bears 51 



The Barren Ground Grizzly, Ursus Richardsoni 



Mayne Reid. 

 The Sitka Brown Bear, Ursus Sitkensis Merriam. 

 The Yakutat Brown Bear, Ursus Dalit Merriam. 

 The Kodiak Brown Bear, Ursus Middendorff, 

 Merriam. 

 It will, of course, be understood that when in this 

 work mention is made of the grizzly bear, it is intended 

 to refer to that species found throughout the northern 

 Rocky Mountain region of the United States and British 

 Columbia, the species recognized by all scientific natural- 

 ists as the true grizzly, Ursus Horribilis Ord. No other 

 type of the grizzly will be discussed, except by way of 

 comparison.
