more than 30 per cent of length of shaft.
_Remarks._--Although there are no records of this subspecies from the
Wind River Mountains, it probably occurs there.
The niche that this subspecies occupies is similar to that of _E. m.
consobrinus_ as shown by the fact that these two subspecies have been
taken together at the same places.
Specimens of _E. a. luteiventris_ and _E. umbrinus fremonti_ have been
taken together at the same places.
In general, _E. m. consobrinus_ occurs in open country and at the edges
of forests, whereas _E. u. fremonti_ occurs in the forest. _E. a.
luteiventris_ occurs in the intermediate habitat, that is to say, not
far into the forest, and not so far out into the open as _E. m.
consobrinus_.
