Manunals of North America, p. 173), Tchuktchi Countr\', Siberia.
Collected by W. Stimpson; received from Capt. J. Rodgcrs, V . S. N.
Original number 358. Skin catalogued March, 1857: skull. Jan-
uary 11, 1902.
Specimen was made into a fairly good modern study skin and skull removed
in .lanuary, 1902. Brain case of skull ]>roken away, anterior parts, however,
quite complete.
No type specified. Baird listed two specimens, No. 1458 from Semipalatinsk,
Siberia, in winter pelage, received from the Bremen Museum, through Dr. G.
Hartlaub, and the above, No. 2330. Most of the description appears to be based
up(jn summer pelages as in immber 23.30 and specimens from "among the collections
of tiie North Pacifii- and Behring's Straits Kxpedition." Further on
Baird says, "A winter specimen, 1458, from Semipalatinsk, Siberia, is very
similar in size and the characters of the tail." This would indicate that 1458
was not considered (juite typical and leaves 2330 as the type.
