Description
Sorex alaskanus Merriam, 1900. Proc. Washington Acad. Sci., 2: 18.
TYPE LOCALITY: USA, "Point Gustavus, Glacier Bay, Alaska ".
DISTRIBUTION: Known only from the type locality.
COMMENTS: Subgenus Otisorex. The species was tentatively included in palustris by Junge and Hoffmann (1981), but retained as a species by Hall (1981), Jones et al. (1982), and George (1988); a view supported by the skull figures and measurements given by Jackson (1928). Apparently the species has not been collected again since 1899.
