Sorex (Otisorex) alaskanus Merriam 1900 View in CoL , Proc. Wash. Acad. Sci., 2: 18.

Type Locality: USA, Alaska, Glacier bay, Point Gustavus.

Vernacular Names: Glacier Bay Water Shrew.

Distribution: Known only from the type locality.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Subgenus Otisorex ; S. vagrans complex. The species was tentatively included in palustris by Junge and Hoffmann (1981) and Harris (in Wilson and Ruff, 1999), 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) and Carraway (1995). Apparently the species has not been collected again since 1899.
