Ochotona uinta ventorum, subsp. nov. 



Type. — No. 176,778, U. S. National Museum, Biological Survey collec- 

 tion; & adult, skin and skull; from Fremont Peak, Wind River Mountains, 

 Wyoming; collected July 19, 1911, by H. E. Anthony; original number 395. 



Subspecific characters. — Size of uinta; color in winter pelage paler and 

 more grayish (less buffy); hind feet paler; summer pelage less intensely 

 buffy, both dorsaUy and ventrally. Compared with princeps: Size larger; 

 color in both pelages paler (less blackish). 



Color. — Type (acquiring summer pelage) : Head, shoulders, and fore back 

 cinnamon-buff, strongly washed with fuscous-black; sides and hinder back 

 (in worn winter pelage) smoke gray, faintly washed with pinkish buff; 

 ears chaetura drab, margined with buffy white; feet pale pinkish buff; 

 soles hair-brown; palms soiled buffy white; underparts soiled whitish, 

 faintly washed with hght buff. Winter pelage (specimen from Jackson, 

 Wyoming, September 19): General tone of upperparts between drab and 

 wood brown, shading on sides to hght pinkish cinnamon; front of face 

 washed with clay color; head and back washed with fuscous; rump blotched 

 with blackish; underparts soiled white, faintly washed with pinkish buff; 

 ears deep mouse gray; feet pinkish buff. 



SkvU. — Closely similar to that of uinta; larger than that of princeps, 

 with longer nasals. 



Measurements. — Type (adult c?): Total length, 186; hind foot, 31. 

 SkvU: Occipito-nasal length, 44; zygomatic breadth, 21.5; breadth of 

 cranium 17.8; interorbital breadth, 4.6; width of palatal bridge, 2; length 

 of nasals, 15. 



Remarks. — This race occupies the Wind River, Gros Ventre, Absaroka, 

 and Teton Ranges in northwestern Wyoming and the Beartooth Mountains 

 in southwestern Montana. It is closely related to uinta, as shown by the 

 skull; the coloration in all pelages is more grayish and less buffy, this 

 difference being most strikingly shown in the vrorn winter pelage of June 

 or July specimens.
