TRACKS AND TRACKING 



GENERAL REMARKS 



About the Motive Features of Different 

 Animals 



TAKING it for granted that the arrange- 

 ment of the individual tracks in the trail 

 is due to the general anatomic make-up of 

 the animal which made them, we have to consider 

 four groups in the treatise on mammals. 



The first, the members of which possess a 

 length of body correctly proportional to their 

 height, includes the deer, ox, bear, dog, and cat 

 families. 



The second includes rabbits, squirrels, and 

 animals whose hind legs are very long in propor- 

 tion to their front legs. 



The third is made up of those animals whose 

 legs, considering the length of their bodies, are 

 very short marten, mink, etc.
