All this material affords an opportunity both for determining the 

 characters of the subspecies flemvngi and for following some of the 

 complicated plumage changes that are undergone by grouse of this 

 genus. 



Fig. A. Map showing distribution of grouse of the genus Dendragapus: 

 1, D. fuUginosus sitkensis; 2, D. f. fuliginosus; 3, D. f. sierrae; 4, V. f. howardi; 

 5. D. olscurua flemingi; 6, D. o. richardsonii ; 7, D. o. obscurus. 



The type locality of flemingi is given by Taverner (1914, p. 386) 

 as ' ' near Teslin Lake. ' ' The country about Teslin Lake is mostly low- 

 land, with not much mountainous territory suitable to this species.
