NOTES ON THE MAMMALIA. 



Cams fulvus Linn. The Red Fox occurred commonly at Stag Bay, 

 •with the following species. 



Canis lagopus Linn. The "Blue Fox" is exceedingly rare about 

 the mouth of Hamilton Lilet. An old hunter told me he had seen 

 but three of them within a period of forty years. Their fur is shorter, 

 and the tail shorter and more bushy than in the "Patch Fox." On a 

 high isolated rock much frequented by sea birds, I noticed a Patch 

 Fox with a murr's egg in its mouth. It is very tame and unsuspicious 

 on the outer islands, where it lives evidently by robbing the nests of 

 sea birds. It is the common statement of the hunters that the differ- 

 ent varieties of this species are found in the same litter. 



Putorius. The common weasel is very abundant and tame. In 

 winter it is excessively annoying to the hunters by robbing their traps 

 of the bait. 



Lutra canadensis Sab. The Otter is now very rarely shot upon 

 the coast. 



Procyon lotor Storr. The Raccoon occurred at Square Island. 



Sciwus hudsonicus Pallas. No squirrel was seen at any time upon 

 the coast, though a skull which is referred to this species was found at 

 Henley Harbor, opposite Belle Isle.
