CRANE + + +The subspecific identity of beavers from Utah seems never to have been +carefully investigated. With the exception of the name _Castor +canadensis repentinus_ applied to animals from Zion and Parunuweap +canyons by Presnall (1938:14), all other writers from 1897 until the +present time, have used for animals from Utah, the name combination +_Castor canadensis frondator_ Mearns, the type of which is from Sonora, +Mexico. Study of specimens of beavers from Utah, accumulated in the +collections of the Museum of Zoology, University of Utah, proves these +animals to be far more variable than formerly supposed, and discloses +the existence of three hitherto unnamed kinds, which are named and +described below. + +We recognize the need for caution in proposing new names for American +beavers, because the transplanting of these animals from one watershed +to another may have permitted the animals of a given area to change +genetically, say, through hybridization, and may also have altered the +geographic distribution of the several kinds. The officials of the Utah +State Fish and Game Commission have assured us that such transplants +have not occurred in the areas where these three new kinds are found, +and further that nowhere in the state have transplants been made from +one major drainage system to another; such transplants as have been made +were only within the same major drainage system. + +The capitalized color terms used in this paper are after Ridgway, Color +Standards and Color Nomenclature, Washington, D. C., 1912. All +measurements are in millimeters. We are indebted to the officials of the +United States National Museum for the loan of comparative materials. + + +~Castor canadensis pallidus~ new subspecies + +_Type._--Female, adult, skin and skull, number 719, Museum of Zoology, +University of Utah; Lynn Canyon, 7,500 ft., Boxelder County, Utah; +September 7, 1932; collected by W. W. Newby. + +_Range._--Known only from the Raft River Mountains. + +_Diagnosis._--Size small; tail and hind foot short (see measurements). +Color (type): Pale, upper parts uniformly Ochraceous-Buff; underfur +Snuff Brown; underparts uniformly Light Buff, grading to Light +Ochraceous-Buff at base of tail; underfur Light Drab; front and hind +feet Light Ochraceous-Buff. Skull: Rostrum short; nasals broad (breadth +averaging 54 per cent of length), constricted posteriorly and barely +projecting posteriorly beyond premaxillae; zygomatic arches robust, but +not widely spreading (zygomatic breadth 77 per cent of basilar length); +mastoid breadth 73 per cent of zygomatic breadth; anterolateral margin +of orbit narrow (6.2); occipital condyles visible from dorsal view; +condylobasal length greater than occipitonasal length; upper incisors +narrow (Orange Chrome in color); coronoid processes high and wide; cheek +teeth narrow. + +_Measurements._--Measurements of the type are as follows: Total length, +1040; length of tail, 380; length of hind foot, 157; length of ear, 35; +occipitonasal length, 129.1; basilar length, 116.6; mastoid breadth, +65.6; interorbital breadth, 23.6; length of nasals, 43.3; zygomatic +breadth, 89.7; breadth of nasals, 23.4; alveolar length of upper +molariform teeth, 30.4. + +_Comparisons._--From topotypes and near topotypes of _Castor canadensis +taylori_, _C. c. pallidus_ differs as follows: Size smaller; tail and +hind foot shorter. Color: Markedly lighter throughout. Skull: Nasals +shorter and wider (breadth of nasals averages 54 per cent of length of +nasals, as opposed to 46 per cent); nasals barely projecting posteriorly +beyond premaxillae; rostrum shorter; zygomatic breadth relative to +basilar length less; mastoid breadth actually as well as relatively +greater; interorbital breadth greater; occipitonasal length shorter +rather than longer than condylobasal length; tympanic bullae smaller; +coronoid process higher and wider; cheek teeth narrower. + +From specimens of _Castor canadensis baileyi_, from 20 miles north +northeast of Elko, Elko County, Nevada, _C. c. pallidus_ differs as +follows: Body smaller; tail longer; hind foot shorter; ears shorter: +Color: Markedly lighter throughout. Skull: Larger; nasals shorter and +wider (breadth of nasals averages 54 per cent of length of nasals as +opposed to 41 per cent); nasals barely projecting posteriorly beyond +premaxillae; rostrum broader; zygomatic breadth relative to basilar +length less; mastoid breadth actually as well as relatively greater; +occipitonasal length less rather than greater than condylobasal length; +tympanic bullae smaller; coronoid process higher and wider; cheek teeth +narrower. + +From one topotype and two specimens of _Castor canadensis repentinus_, +from the Colorado River at Yuma, Yuma County, Arizona, _C. c. pallidus_ +differs as follows: Tail and hind foot shorter. Color: Lighter +throughout. Skull: Narrower; nasals shorter and wider (breadth of nasals +averages 54 per cent of length of nasals as opposed to 47 per cent); +nasals barely projecting posteriorly beyond premaxillae; rostrum +shorter; zygomatic breadth relative to basilar length less; mastoid +breadth actually as well relatively greater; tympanic bullae narrower +and smaller; coronoid process higher and wider; cheek teeth narrower. + +From one specimen of _Castor canadensis concisor_, from Trappers Lake, +Garfield County, Colorado, and from the original description of that +subspecies (Warren and Hall, 1939: 358), _C. c. pallidus_ differs as +follows: Size smaller. Color: Markedly lighter throughout. Skull: +Smaller, narrower; nasals shorter and wider (breadth of nasals averages +54 per cent of length of nasals as opposed to 48 per cent); rostrum +shorter; zygomatic breadth relative to basilar length less; mastoid +breadth relative to zygomatic breadth greater; tympanic bullae narrower +and smaller; jugals narrower; distal end of meatal tube smaller; +coronoid process shorter and wider; angular process shorter and rounded +rather than nearly pointed; cheek teeth narrower. + +From the type and near topotypes of _Castor canadensis rostralis_, _C. +c. pallidus_ differs as follows: Size smaller; tail and hind foot +shorter. Color: Markedly lighter throughout. Skull: Smaller and +narrower; rostrum shallower and narrower; posterior end of nasals more +constricted and barely projecting posteriorly beyond premaxillae; +zygomatic breadth relative to basilar length less; mastoid breadth +actually as well as relatively greater; dorsal surface of lacrimal bone +larger; tympanic bullae narrower; coronoid process higher and wider; +angular process not projecting so far caudad; cheek teeth narrower. + +From the type and near topotypes of _Castor canadensis duchesnei_, _C. +c. pallidus_ differs as follows: Size smaller; tail and hind foot +shorter. Color: Lighter throughout. Skull: Shorter, narrower and less +massive; nasals shorter and wider (breadth of nasals averages 54 per +cent of length of nasals as opposed to 46 per cent); nasals barely +projecting posteriorly beyond premaxillae; rostrum shorter and narrower; +zygomatic breadth relative to basilar length less; mastoid breadth +actually as well as relatively greater; tympanic bullae narrower and +smaller; coronoid process higher and wider; angular process not +projecting so far caudad; cheek teeth narrower. + +_Remarks._--The Raft River Mountains of extreme northwestern Utah, where +_C. c. pallidus_ occurs, are the only mountains of the state within the +drainage of the Snake River. The Snake River proper lies 50 miles to the +northward in Idaho and contains another kind of beaver, _C. c. taylori_ +(Davis, 1939: 273). Although occurring within the same drainage as _C. +c. taylori_, _C. c. pallidus_ is as distinct from it as from any other +named kind. The relationships of _C. c. pallidus_, as indicated by the +short rostrum and short, wide nasals, are rather more with _C. c. +rostralis_ of the Wasatch Mountains, than with _C. c. taylori_. + +The pale color of the animals belonging to _C. c. pallidus_ was noted at +the time of capture, and is the same in the young specimen (625 mm. +total length) as in the type, an adult. + + _Specimens examined._--Total, 2, distributed as follows: + _Boxelder County_: Raft River, 5 mi. S Yost, Raft River + Mountains, 6,000 ft., 1; Lynn Canyon, Raft River Mountains, + 7,500 ft., 1. + + +~Castor canadensis rostralis~ new subspecies + +_Type._--Male, young adult, skin and skull, number 5199, Museum of +Zoology, University of Utah; Red Butte Canyon, Fort Douglas, 5,000 ft., +Salt Lake County, Utah; October 13, 1947; collected by Harold S. Crane +and Clifton M. Greenhalgh, original number 446 of Crane. + +_Range._--Known from the western streams of the Wasatch Mountains; +probably occurs in all streams draining westward into the basin of +Pleistocene Lake Bonneville. + +_Diagnosis._--Size large; tail and hind foot long (see measurements). +Color (type): Upper parts Snuff Brown, purest on head; underfur Brownish +Black (2); base of tail Cinnamon Buff; hind feet Carob Brown; ears +Blackish Brown (2); underparts Auburn, grading posteriorly to Cinnamon +Buff; underfur Light Drab. Skull: Large, massive; nasals short and broad +(breadth averaging 54 per cent of length) and moderately convex +transversely; rostrum deep and broad; ventral surface of rostrum +moderately concave dorsally; dorsal surface of lacrimal bone small; +frontal region generally flat; zygomatic arches robust and widely +spreading (zygomatic breadth averaging 82 per cent of basilar length). + +_Measurements._--Measurements of the type and average and extreme +cranial measurements of 6 unsexed adults from Charleston, are, +respectively, as follows: Total length, 1,330; length of tail, 470; +length of hind foot, 170; length of ear, 34; occipitonasal length, +128.2, 134.3 (142.1-129.5); basilar length, 112.4, 117.2 (128.2-113.2); +mastoid breadth, 62.5, 64.3 (68.9-60.2); interorbital breadth, 27.9, +26.0 (26.9-26.0); zygomatic breadth, 91.3, 93.8 (105.8-90.8); length of +nasals, 44.9, 43.9 (51.3-41.5); breadth of nasals, 24.5, 23.7 +(25.7-22.0); alveolar length of upper molariform teeth, 28.3, 30.9 +(32.5-28.7). + +_Comparisons._--From topotypes and near topotypes of _Castor canadensis +taylori_, _C. c. rostralis_ differs as follows: Color: Darker on upper +parts owing to darker underfur, guard hairs actually lighter. Skull: +Longer; nasals shorter and wider (breadth of nasals averages 54 per cent +of length of nasals as opposed to 47 per cent); extension of nasals +posterior to premaxillae less; rostrum shorter, broader and deeper; +dorsal surface of lacrimal bone smaller; zygomatic breadth relative to +basilar length greater; mastoid breadth relative to zygomatic breadth +less; coronoid process shorter; coronoid and condyloid processes farther +apart and space between them shallower. + +From one topotype and two specimens from the Colorado River at Yuma, +Yuma County, Arizona, of _Castor canadensis repentinus_, _C. c. +rostralis_ differs as follows: Size larger; tail longer. Color: Darker +throughout. Skull: Longer; nasals shorter and wider (breadth of nasals +relative to length of nasals averages 54 per cent as opposed to 47 per +cent); extension of nasals posterior to premaxillae less; rostrum +shorter, deeper and wider; zygomatic breadth relative to basilar length +greater; mastoid breadth actually as well as relatively greater; dorsal +surface of lacrimal bone smaller; coronoid and condylar processes +farther apart and space between them shallower. + +From specimens of _Castor canadensis baileyi_, from 20 miles north +northeast of Elko, Elko County, Nevada, _C. c. rostralis_ differs as +follows: Size larger; tail and hind foot longer. Color: Darker +throughout. Skull: Larger in all measurements taken; nasals markedly +wider (breadth of nasals relative to length of nasals averages 54 per +cent as opposed to 41 per cent); extension of nasals posterior to +premaxillae less; dorsal surface of lacrimal bone smaller; mastoid +breadth relative to zygomatic breadth less. + +From one specimen of _Castor canadensis concisor_, from Trappers Lake, +Garfield County, Colorado, and from the original description of that +subspecies (Warren and Hall, 1939: 358), _C. c. rostralis_ differs as +follows: Color: Guard hairs lighter; underfur darker (blackish as +opposed to brownish). Skull: Longer and narrower; nasals broader and +shorter (breadth of nasals averages 54 per cent of length of nasals as +opposed to 48 per cent); dorsal surface of lacrimal bone smaller; distal +end of meatal tube smaller; distal end of angular process rounded +rather than pointed; coronoid process shorter; coronoid and condylar +processes farther apart and space between them shallower. + +Among known kinds of _Castor canadensis_, _C. c. rostralis_ is most like +_Castor canadensis duchesnei_, from which the former subspecies differs +as follows: Tail and hind foot longer. Color: Darker throughout. Skull: +Nasals shorter and wider (breadth of nasals averages 54 per cent of +length of nasals as opposed to 46 per cent); nasals less arched +transversely; rostrum shorter, deeper and broader; ventral surface of +rostrum less concave dorsally; dorsal surface of lacrimal bone smaller. + +For comparison with _Castor canadensis pallidus_, see account of that +subspecies. + +_Remarks._--Animals from Kamas, in the drainage of the Weber River, are +intergrades between _C. c. rostralis_ and _C. c. duchesnei_, but their +short, wide nasals and wide rostra make them referable to _C. c. +rostralis_. + +The available specimens of _C. c. rostralis_ are all from streams which +ultimately empty into Great Salt Lake, which is in the northern part of +the basin of Pleistocene Lake Bonneville. Some streams drain into the +Lake Bonneville Basin without emptying into Great Salt Lake proper. +Beavers from these streams, we suspect, when they become known, will be +found to be related to _C. c. rostralis_. + + _Specimens examined._--Total, 16 (2 skins and skulls, 14 + skulls only), distributed as follows: Summit County: Kamas, + 5,500 ft., 6. _Salt Lake County_: Red Butte Canyon, Fort + Douglas, 5,000 ft., 1; Millcreek Canyon, 6 mi. above mouth, + 7,000 ft., 1. _Wasatch County_: Charleston, Heber Valley, + 5,500 ft., 8. + + +~Castor canadensis duchesnei~ new subspecies + +_Type._--Male, young adult, skin and skull, number 4625, Museum of +Zoology, University of Utah; Duchesne River, 10 miles northwest of +Duchesne, 5,600 ft., Duchesne County, Utah; September 23, 1946; +collected by Dave Thomas, original number 160 of K. R. Kelson. + +_Range._--Drainage of the Duchesne and White rivers in Utah and +Colorado. + +_Diagnosis._--Size large; tail long (see measurements). Color (type): +Upper parts Sayal Brown, purest on head, grading to Cinnamon Buff at +base of tail; underfur Fuscous; hind feet Burnt Umber; ears Fuscous +Black; underparts Tawny Olive; underfur Smoke Gray. Skull: Large, +massive; nasals long, slender (breadth averaging 46 per cent of length) +and markedly convex transversely; rostrum long and attenuate; zygomatic +arches heavy and widely spreading (zygomatic breadth averaging 81.5 per +cent of basilar length); ventral surface of rostrum markedly concave +dorsally, especially immediately behind upper incisors; nasals extend +posterior to premaxillae. + +_Measurements._--Measurements of the type and average and extreme +cranial measurements of 9 unsexed adults, from Currant Creek, are, +respectively, as follows: Total length, 1,176; length of tail, 458; +length of hind foot, 165; length of ear, 33; occipitonasal length, +123.6, 132.1 (138.5-122.3); basilar length, 98.6, 114.4 (125.8-99.2); +mastoid breadth, 60.4, 65.1 (67.2-64.1); interorbital breadth, 23.0, +25.1 (26.1-23.7); zygomatic breadth, 88.3, 94.2 (99.7-89.5); length of +nasals, 46.1, 48.4 (51.5-46.2); breadth of nasals, 20.5, 22.5 +(24.5-18.8); alveolar length of upper molariform teeth, 28.9, 29.9 +(32.2-26.5). + +[Illustration: FIGS. 1-4 Dorsal views of skulls of _Castor canadensis_. +x 1/2] + + FIG. 1. _Castor canadensis rostralis_, male, young adult, + no. 5199 (holotype), Mus.

Color: Guard hairs +lighter, underfur darker. Skull: Larger in all measurements taken; +nasals broader and longer (breadth of nasals averages 46 per cent of +length of nasals as opposed to 41 per cent); rostrum broader and longer; +mastoid breadth relative to zygomatic breadth less; tympanic bullae +larger. + +From one specimen of _Castor canadensis concisor_, from Trappers Lake, +Garfield County, Colorado, and from the original description of that +subspecies (Warren and Hall, 1939: 358), _C. c. duchesnei_ differs as +follows: Color: Lighter throughout. Skull: Nasals more convex +transversely; rostrum narrower; ventral border of rostrum more concave +dorsally, especially immediately behind upper incisors; distal end of +meatal tube smaller; angular process shorter and rounded rather than +pointed; cheek teeth smaller. + +Among known subspecies of _Castor canadensis_, _C. c. duchesnei_ is most +like _Castor canadensis repentinus_, but differs from the latter as +follows: Size larger; hind foot shorter. Color: Darker throughout. +Skull: Basilar length less; mastoid breadth greater; nasals shorter and +narrower; extension of nasals posterior to premaxillae less; nasals more +convex transversely; cheek teeth smaller. + +For comparisons with _Castor canadensis pallidus_ and _Castor canadensis +rostralis_, see accounts of those subspecies. + +_Remarks._--The extent of the range of _C. c. duchesnei_ within the +drainage of the White River is not definitely known. Three animals from +9-1/2 miles southwest of Pagoda Peak, Rio Blanco County, Colorado, from +the drainage of the White River, are intergrades between _C. c. +concisor_ and _C. c. duchesnei_. They are like the latter subspecies in +shape and length of the nasals, less expanded distal end of the meatal +tube and the rounded angular process, and it appears best, pending the +acquisition of more material, to refer them to C. c. duchesnei. Another +specimen, number 2090, Museum of Natural History, University of Kansas, +from Trappers Lake, Garfield County, Colorado, at the headwaters of the +White River, and only 16 miles distant from the three aforementioned +animals, is, however, nearly typical of _C. c. concisor_. Relying upon +the original description (Warren and Hall, 1939: 358), this animal is +like _C. c. concisor_ in size and shape of the jugals, in size of the +distal end of the meatal tube and in the pointed end of the angular +process. Warren and Hall (_loc. cit._) noted that animals assignable to +_C. c. concisor_ occurred throughout the mountainous parts of Colorado, +and recorded them from the headwaters of nearly all the major rivers of +that state. Apparently _C. c. concisor_ also occurs in the headwaters of +the White River, while the main part of the river is inhabited by +animals referable to _C. c. duchesnei_. + + _Specimens examined._--Total, 15 (4 skins and skulls, 11 + skulls only), distributed as follows: Utah: _Wasatch + County_: Currant Creek, Strawberry Valley, 6,000 ft., 11. + _Duchesne County_: Duchesne River, 10 mi.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. |
