ke Gray mixed with Saccardo's Umber; dorsal surface of tail black mixed with Buckhorn Brown; ventral surface of tail Sayal Brown, with Fuscous Black around margin and white or Light Buff around outermost edge; antipalmar and antiplantar surfaces of feet Warm Buff; underparts creamy white with dark underfur. _Skull_: Large; zygomata strong and arched; braincase well inflated. _Baculum_: Broad at base; shaft tapers sharply to tip. _Comparisons._--From _E. u. montanus_, the subspecies from the Medicine Bow Range of south-central Wyoming, _E. u. fremonti_ differs in: Over-all tone of upper parts darker; underside of tail darker; feet darker; sides darker. For comparisons with _E. u. umbrinus_ see the account of that subspecies. _Remarks._--This subspecies normally occurs in the forest as do the other subspecies of _E. umbrinus_ in Wyoming. A single specimen taken at 12 mi. N and 3 mi. W Shoshoni, Fremont County, is the exception which probably indicates that _E. umbrinus_ does occur outside of its normal habitat and that gene-flow exists between the subspecies of this species. _Specimens examined._--Total number, 53. _Yellowstone Park_: Unspecified, 2. _Park Co._: Beartooth Lake, 1 (BS); 16-1/4 mi.
