intend to propose a new name, but that he did so is a _fait accompli_. _Canis lupus albus_ Sabine, 1823, is not available since it is preoccupied by _C[anis]. Lupus albus_ Kerr (Animal Kingdom, Class I, Mammalia, p. 137, 1792), a name applied to the wolf of the Yenisei region of Siberia. The name and synonomy of the wolf of central Canada should stand as follows: ~Canis lupus griseoalbus~ Baird 1858. _Canis occidentalis_, var. _griseo-albus_ Baird, Mammals, Repts. Explor. and Surv. for R. R. to Pacific Ocean, Washington, vol. 8, p. 104 (1857), July 14, 1858, based on _Canis Lupus-Griseus_ Sabine 1823 from the vicinity of Cumberland House, Saskatchewan. 1823. _Canis Lupus-Griseus_ Sabine, No. V, Zool. App. p. 654, _In_ Narrative of a journey to the shores of the Polar Sea ... by John Franklin (_nec [Canis] Griseus_ Boddaert, Elench. Anim. p. 97, 1794, a synonym of _Urocyon cinereaorgenteus_ (Schreber), Säugethiere, p. 92, 1775). 1943. _Canis lupus griseus_, Anderson, Jour. Mamm., 24(3):386, August 17. 1947. _Canis lupus knightii_ Anderson, Bull. 102, Nat. Mus. Canada, p. 54, January 24. (A renaming of _Canis Lupus-Griseus_ Sabine, 1823.) The name _Canis Lupus-Albus_ Sabine, 1823 (_nec C[anis]. Lupus albus_ Kerr, Animal Kingdom, p. 137, 1792) should, of course, be retained as a synonym of _Canis lupus mackenzii_ Anderson as arranged by Anderson (Bull. 102, Nat. Mus. Canada, p. 55, January 24, 1947). When Anderson (_op. cit._:54) recognized the subspecies _Canis lupus knightii_ [= _C. l. griseoalbus_] he made no mention of a specimen of wolf from Norway House, Manitoba, which Goldman (_op. cit._, 1944:427) had referred to _C. l. occidentalis_, but the subspecific identity of which was placed in doubt by Anderson's action. We have examined the specimen, No. 115995, in the Biological Surveys Collection, U.S. National Museum, and have compared it with specimens, including topotypes, of _C. l. occidentalis_ and _C. l. hudsonicus_. The specimen fits the description of _C. l. griseoalbus_ and differs from _C. l. occidentalis_ in its long and narrow incisive foramina, larger skull, more nearly straight frontal profile (not markedly concave), and slightly higher coronoid processes. Other differences alleged to obtain between these two subspecies offer no assistance in the present case. The specimen from Norway House differs from _C. l. hudsonicus_ in larger size of skull and stouter, blunter, postorbital processes, the posterior borders of which turn less abruptly inward. In brief, among currently recognized subspecies, the specimen from Norway House seems best referred to _Canis lupus griseoalbus_ Baird. ~Canis niger rufus~ Audubon and Bachman
