| Summary: | Size, color phases, molar tooth complexity, and post-palatal margin variations were studied as individual characters in C. gapperi in the Quebec Peninsula. These were found to have discordant patterns of distribution. A significant gradient in size increase was found from the neck to the eastern and northern portions of the Peninsula. Brown-back and the fifth angle showed a general increase northward in frequency within the confines of the Peninsula compared with contiguous regions. Local variations within the study area occurred. |
