1899. =oribasus= (_Putorius (Arctogale) longicauda_) Bangs [=
_Mustela frenata oribasus_], Proc. New England Zoöl. Club, 1:81,
December 27, 1899, applies to the long-tailed weasel of the Rocky
Mountains northward from Yellowstone National Park.
1900. =eskimo= (_Putorius rixosus_) Stone [= _Mustela rixosa
eskimo_], Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, 1900:44, March 24,
1900, is applied to the least weasel of Alaska and adjacent parts
of boreal North America.
1901. =allegheniensis= (_Putorius_) Rhoads [= _Mustela rixosa
allegheniensis_], Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, 1900:75,
March 25, 1901, applies to the least weasel of the eastern United
States.
1902. =perdus= (_Putorius tropicalis_) Merriam [= _Mustela frenata
perda_], Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 15:67, March 22, 1902,
applies to the long-tailed weasel of the Lower Tropical Life-zone
from southern Veracruz into Guatemala.
1903. =microtis= (_Putorius_) Allen [= _Mustela erminea
richardsonii_], Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., 19:563, October 10,
1903, is a name applied to an individual ermine of small size from
Shesley, British Columbia, which Allen thought was specifically
distinct from the ermine of the Hudsonian Life-zone and adjacent
territory. Now the name is arranged as a synonym of
_richardsonii_.
1904. =audax= (_Putorius_) Barrett-Hamilton [= _Mustela erminea
arctica_], Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, 13:392, May, 1904. In
the original description the type locality, Discovery Bay, was
erroneously stated to be in Greenland and the name _audax_ until
1945 was applied to the kind of weasel occurring in northern
Greenland whereas the type specimen was taken instead in northern
Ellesmere Island and because the weasel there is subspecifically
indistinguishable from ermines from farther west, _audax_ is a
synonym of _Putorius arcticus_.
1904. =imperii= (_Putorius arcticus_) Barrett-Hamilton [= _Mustela
erminea richardsonii_], Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, 13:392,
May, 1904, based on an animal from Fort Simpson, Mackenzie,
Canada, proves to be inseparable from _richardsonii_ which has
priority.
1904. =polaris= (_Putorius arcticus_) Barrett-Hamilton [= _Mustela
erminea polaris_], Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, 13:393, May,
1904, is the name used for the ermine of eastern Greenland and
since 1945 has been used for the weasel of Greenland as a whole.
1905. =macrophonius= (_Putorius_) Elliott [= _Mustela frenata
macrophonius_], Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 18:235, December 9,
1905, applies to the long-tailed weasel of the mountains along the
eastern border of Veracruz.
