after having singed off the quills and hair. After a rather extensive ex- 

 perience, my own preference is for this style. 



The yellow-haired porcupine is a species closely allied to the one 

 above described, if not a mere variety of it. Its range is from the sprace 

 belt which runs along the eastern slope of the Eocky mountains, westward 

 to the Pacific ocean and from Alaska southward to the latitude of 

 San Fjancisco. Like the Canada porcupine, it lives principally on spruce 

 bark, but is said to also eat the bark of the tamarac or larch, and of 

 two western species of pine.
