Its weight was 102 pounds; other males caught in the region weighed 90 and 78 pounds. W. R. Hinc weighed the Winnipeg Wolf (a male) at 104 pounds. T. P. James, of Clayton, New Mexico, assu'^cd rne that in the fall of 1892 he killed a huge Wolf that turned a standard scales at 150 pounds. This, however, is extreme, and the weights given above more nearly represent the normal male. A female taken at the same pl^^^*^.
