From http://www.lib.uoguelph.ca/assistance/writing_services/resources/how_to_cite.cfm.

Here is the closest example from the MLA Handbook:

Page numbers of the cited piece. Give the inclusive page numbers of the piece you are citing. Be sure to provide the page numbers for the entire piece, not just for the material you used. Inclusive page numbers follow the publication date and a period (on writing inclusive numbers, see 3.5.6). (If the book has no page numbers, see 5.5.24.) The entry concludes with the medium of publication consulted.
