PLATE 8 



"Poplars" (quaking aspen) girdled by rabbits, a common sight in the woods 

 when these animals are abundant. The largest trees shown are four or five inches 

 in diameter. The highest points gnawed by the animals, some three or four feet 

 above the ground, were reached in winter when snow lay deep about the trees.
