" The Wolveriiie {Oulo luscus) is not now an inhabitant of the Adirondacks, and I 

 have been unable to find among the hunters and trappers of this region any one who 

 has ever seen it in our wilderness. * * * Dr. Bachman killed one, about the 

 year 1811, in its den in a ledge of rocks in Rensselaer county." — Merriam, Mammals 

 of the Adirondacks, 1884.
