 1895: 



NOTES ON MAMMALIA, &c., OBSERVED IN 



CLEVELAND IN 1895. 



By R. G. Clayton. 



A Badger was seen in the month of April, close to Great 

 Ayton, on the high road. One was captured there in the 

 Autumn of 1895. 



Squirrels are fairly plentiful in Cleveland now. I handled 

 some in November in most beautiful coats, they had been 

 shot to furnish Sable tails (?). A female Stoat in almost pure 

 white coat was sent me in January. It was minus the left 

 fore leg, and no fracture or fragment of bone was discernible 

 upon skinning. 



Common Newts were lively in a small pond at Ingleby on 

 4th May. 



A Seal
