THE BOOK OF THE OTTER 



majority of people have never seen an otter, except 

 under a glass case in some museum, or within the 

 confines of the Zoological Gardens. The angler, 

 fishing at dusk, may sometimes be favoured by a 

 glimpse of an otter, bent on the same errand as 

 himself, but as a rule few otters are seen except 

 when put down by hounds.
