These examples were taken in the months of August, September, 

 and January, and exhibit the different pelages assumed in summer and 

 winter, those taken in August having the russet coat, those in Sep- 

 tember having both the russet and the blackish brown coat of winter, 

 even in the same locality, and the January ones, of course, the very 

 dark pelage. In the winter and summer coats individuals present a 

 very different appearance.
