Wants Grizzly Bear Data.

All who have skulls of grizzly bears in their possession are appealed to by Dr. C. Hart Merriam of the National museum at Washington for light on the considerable number of distinct epecies that have inhabited the western part of North America from the eastern edge of the Great Plains in Manitoba and the Dakotas westerly to the Pacific coast in British Columbia and California, and from the shores of the Arctic ocean south into Mexico. With few exceptions, those of the western United States are extinct, and

in most cases only a few skulls remain to illustrate the species. Dr. Merriam says in the current number of Science that he is anxious to see as many skulls as possible of both sexes, and lie would like to buy or borrow all that he has not already seen.
