From topotypes of _C. g. phaeus_, _C. g. stikinensis_ differs as
follows: dorsal stripe and sides darker; auditory bullae less
inflated; cheek-teeth narrower; skull smaller in most measurements
taken (see table 1).
From topotypes of _C. g. solus_, _C. g. stikinensis_ differs as
follows: dorsal stripe lighter (more tawny underwash); ventral wash
of buffy much paler (especially noticeable around mouth and on
throat); zygomatic and lambdoidal breadths greater; skull deeper;
auditory bullae more inflated; cheek-teeth slightly heavier.
