now TO CATCH THE MAETEX. 41 



em Canada, from fifty to one luindred miles north of Lake 

 Ontario, from its eastern end to Lake Huron. In that 

 country there are immense cedar swamps with great pme 

 ridges, and along their borders the Marten may Lest be 

 hunted, by setting a line of wooden traps, ten miles 

 long or so, which is as much as can be attended to in one 

 day. 



The Marten may be followed by his tracks, which are 

 about the size of a small cat's. He always travels on a 

 jump, making only the mark of two feet close together, 

 the pairs being about two feet and a half apart. When 

 closely pursued he takes to a tree, and is a splendid 

 climber.
