Mammals -- North America
For the loan of comparative mammalian material, grateful
acknowledgment is made to officials of the following institutions:
California Academy of Sciences; Biological Surveys collection of the
U. S. National Museum; Provincial Museum, Victoria, B. C.; National
Museum of Canada. The promptness of officials of the game commissions
of the provinces and territories concerned, in providing permits for
collecting also is acknowledged. A part of the funds for field work
was made available by a grant from the Kansas University Endowment
Association. Elevations above sea level are given in feet. Capitalized
color terms refer to those in Ridgway, Color Standards and Color
Nomenclature, Washington, D. C., 1912.
