ResumoThe distribution of Mustela frenata longicauda was ascertained for Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta by examination of 91 labelled museum specimens and 186 carcasses provided by trappers from Manitoba. Collection records on site selection and distribution reaffirm the author's contention that M. frenata prefers late seral stages or ecotones in close proximity to free standing water. The transition between aspen parkland and the boreal forest or taiga is the northernmost distribution of this species in the Canadian prairies.
