THE MARTEN IN ENGLAND AND WALKS. 
By H. EK. Forrest. 
In ‘ The Zoologist,’ 1891-3, Mr. J. E. Harting gave a detailed 
account of the Pine Marten (Mustela martes) and its distribution 
throughout Great Britain and Ireland. 
The object of the present paper is to supplement the above, 
and to bring it up to date as regards England and Wales. To 
avoid repetition, the records in Mr. Harting’s papers are merely 
indicated below by the letter H, followed by the year of occur- 
rence. Their inclusion renders this paper more complete, with- 
out materially increasing its length. 
The Marten still lingers in the Lake District and in the 
north-west of Wales. It has therefore seemed most convenient 
to deal first with those districts, taking next the counties adjoin- 
ing, and finally the isolated occurrences in the eastern and 
southern counties of England. 
Anglesey.—Not recorded. 
Carnarvon & Merioneth.—Still found in the wilder parts of 
these counties, though in reduced and rapidly diminishing num- 
bers. The late Mr. EH. O. Partridge, of Farchynys, Dolgelley, 
records sixteen killed in that district in 1898. Stuffed specimens 
are to be seen in many houses and hotels in these counties. 
Cardiganshire.—No record except an example reported to me
