 fufpicious : they like to fettle where they can 

 have a clear view round them for fome di- 

 ftance : a naked ftump or a hillock is their fa- 

 vourite refting-place. The warreners, therefore, 

 raife mounds of earth of a conical form in dif- 

 ferent parts of the warren, and place fteel 

 traps upon the points of thofe artificial hil- 

 locks.
