Description

Marmota broweri Hall and Gilmore, 1934. Canadian Field Nat., 48:57.

TYPE LOCALITY: USA, "Point Lay, Arctic Coast of Alaska " Restricted by Rausch (1953:117) to head of Kukpowruk River, Alaska.

DISTRIBUTION: Brooks Range of N Alaska (USA) from near coast of Chukchi Sea to Alaska-Yukon border; perhaps also N Yukon (Canada).
