'EAVER literature is scarce. The book which 

 easily excels is " The American Beaver 

 and his Works," by Lewis H. Morgan. Samuel 

 Hearne has an excellent paper concerning the 

 beaver in " Journey from Prince of Wales Fort 

 to the Northern Ocean," published in 1 795. Good 

 accounts of the beaver are given in the following 

 books : " Beavers : their Ways," by Joseph Henry 

 Taylor; " Castorologia," by Horace T. Martin; 

 "Shaggycoat," by Clarence Hawkes ; "The House 

 in the Water," by Charles G. D. Roberts ; and 

 " Forest Neighbors," by William Davenport Hul- 

 bert. There are also admirable papers by Ernest 

 Thompson Seton in his " Life-Histories of North- 

 ern Animals," by W. T. Hornaday in his " Amer- 

 ican Natural History," and by Baillie-Grohman 

 in " Camps in the Rockies."
