46 TRAVELS OF A NATURALIST 



A Lynx was killed near Hoeg about three years ago. 



Gluttons are still numerous, but are very easily 

 poisoned in which way most of them are killed it 

 being very difficult to get a shot at them. 



Bears are often troublesome with the cattle. The 

 story in Murray is true, and the man is still alive though 

 not living here now. 



There are no Eats, and few Mice. 



We bought a good pair of Keindeer horns from Ole for 

 half a dollar. They have not ripe horns just now, and 

 neither flesh nor pelt is worth taking. 



Ole says there are no Moles, Hedgehogs, or Badgers 

 on the Fjelds.
