Abstract: | The few extant specimens of the extinct Merriam's elk, Cervus merriami, of Arizona and New Mexico, are compared with specimens of Cervus elaphus of more northern subspecies, and the previously stated but largely undocumented conclusion of conspecificity is supported. Cervus elaphus merriami was a marginally valid subspecies, not a separate species. |
