 clearing around the camp house on Lindsley Lake; and the 

 two recorded from the paper birch — aspen stage were taken

A captive taken July 18, after feeding ravenously on a cooky, 

 retired to a corner and went to sleep. The position taken in 

 this case was a sitting one, the animal resting on the widely

 bent far over, the nose extending between the hind legs. The 

 long tail was curled around the body, it resting on the ground 

 for its whole length. The operation of cleaning the tail w^as

 of the tail toward the tip, using the fore feet to present the 

 tail to the mouth, where it was licked oft'. During the process 

 the head was held over on one side, nearly touching the 

 ground.
