Fig. I. — A 35-PouND Beaver Caught in Pitfall. 



This animal was comparatively gentle from the first. 



Fig. 2. — Yellow Poplars Cut by Beavers. 



These trees, 12 inches in diameter, were cut at Brandreth Lake, N. Y. While aspens are the 

 principal food trees of beavers, no distinction is made in varieties. The yellow poplar and even 

 cottonwoods are eagerly accepted.
