2 THE ZOOLOGIST. 
by Mr. W. Yelland, who saw it at Hafod, near Devil’s Bridge, 
about 1878. 
Radnorshire.—The late Mr. J. W. Lloyd had a specimen 
killed at Stanage about 1840, and records one obtained at 
Harpton Court about 1862. Another taken about the same date 
is preserved at Clyro Court, whilst Mr. O. R. Owen reports two 
killed near Rhayader in the late nineties. Mr. J. W. Vaughan 
states that in the winter of 1906-7 several Hares were found 
dead by a shepherd near Erwood. In each case the animal had 
been killed by a bite just over the heart; this is said to be the 
way a Marten always kills its prey. There is other evidence 
that the Marten still exists in Radnorshire and in the neighbour- 
ing county of Brecon. 
Brecon.—H. Several between 1857 and 1886. In the last- 
mentioned year Mr. E. Cambridge Phillips records one seen near 
Brecon. Several observers report the Marten as still existing in 
the county, though in very small numbers. 
Pembroke.—No certain record. 
Carmarthen.—H. About1868. Mr. W. M. Congreve informs 
me that Jeffreys, of Carmarthen, had two to preserve, shot by 
Mr. Thompson, of Glyn Abbey, Kidwelly, about 1880. 
Glamorgan.—H. 1849. Mr. 'T.W. Proger remembers a pair 
being trapped at Courtyralla, near Cardiff, in 1872. The female 
is now in the local museum. Sir John Llewelyn informs me that 
he had one brought to him for preservation at least thirty-five 
years ago; it was obtained near Swansea. 
Monmouth.—Mr. T. W. Proger reports two or three trapped 
in the neighbourhood of Pontypool about 1866. H.: one at 
Grosmont, 1873. 
Herefordshire—H. Three about 1860; others 1861, 1866, 
1873, 1878, 1884. Mr. J. B. Pilley informs me that two were 
obtained at Haywood and Wellington (both places within a few 
miles of Hereford city) in the eighties. 
Gloucestershive.—H. Formerly; 1881. 
Worcestershire.—Hastings described it as rare in 1834, and 
as formerly inhabiting Malvern Chase. 
Warwickshire.—Not recorded. 
Staffordshire-—Recorded by Garner as taken near Cheadle, 
and at Needwood ; no dates are given, but must have been prior
