. Mammals of the Mexican boundary of the United States : a descriptive catalogue of the species of mammals occurring in that region; with a general summary of the natural history, and a list of trees . Mammals; Mammals; Trees; Trees; Natural history; Natural history. u, 6 c d Fig. 36.—Ovis canadensis gaillaedi. Feet male. (Cat. No. 21392, ) o and ft, Forefoot; c; and d, hindfoot. The head and neck, except the dark brown mane, are nearly unicolor, like the back, except that the end of the lower jaw is grayish white. The ears are not much joaler than the surrounding parts, except on the inside, which is grayish white. Just behind the white axillae, for a handbreadth, the summer coat has been acquired, and is clay color. The limbs are dark brown (almost seal brown), externally and an- teriorly, and in a broad band posteriorly connecting the accessory and lower hoofs; the remainder white. Iris yellowish hazel. An adult female specimen (No. 21392, ), killed in the same place as the type in April, 1892, is in the short summer pelage. The color is pale, dusty buff, scarcely as dark as clay color, but deep- ening to drab on the neck. The dark line dividing the rump is scarcely perceptible, and there is no dark vertebral stripe. The head of an old ram, in the private collection of Maj. D. D. Gaillard, who shot it in the Gila Mountains and presented its feet to the U. S. National Museum (fig. 35), shows the same difference in.
