Sorex vagrans longicauda Merriam
Sorex obscurus longicauda Merriam, N. Amer. Fauna, 10:74, December 31, 1895.
Type.—Adult male, skin and skull; No. 74711, U. S. Biol. Surv. Coll.; obtained on September 9, 1895 by C. P. Streator, from Wrangell, Alaska.
Range.—The British Columbian and Alaskan coasts from Rivers Inlet north to near Juneau and also certain islands including Etolin, Gravina, Revillagigedo, Sergeif, and Wrangell.
Diagnosis.—Size medium for the species, tail relatively long; average and extreme measurements of 17 specimens from the type locality are: total length, 128.4 (122-138); tail, 57.8 (53-66); hind foot, 15.1 (14-16). Color dark in summer and winter.
Comparisons.—For comparison with S. v. setosus see account of that subspecies. Larger and darker than S. v. obscurus with which it intergrades east of the humid coastal region; larger and darker than S. v. alascensis with which it intergrades in the Lynn Canal area; larger and darker than S. v. calvertensis which occurs on Calvert Island and Banks Island, British Columbia; differs from S. v. insularis of Smythe, Townsend, and Reginald islands in larger size and blackish rather than brown winter pelage; larger and relatively longer-tailed than S. v. elassodon which occurs on most of the islands west of the range of longicauda; larger and relatively longer-tailed than S. v. isolatus.
