the sixties, and in 1877; Barnsley, 1878; near Ripon; and ~ 
above Masham in 1870. he 
Durham.—H. 1835, 1849, 186-, 1882. Mr. T. H. Nelson 
informs me that one was killed in Weardale about 1880. Sir 
Alfred Pease heard of one being taken near Bishop Auckland 
about 1896. 
Westmorland.—H. 1877. One recorded above Elterwater, 
Sept. 10th, 1896, by Mr. J. R. Denwood (Zool. 1896, p. 376). 
Cumberland. — H. Still plentiful, 1877. Obtained 1886, 
1887, 1892. The late Rev. H. A. Macpherson, in his ‘ Fauna of 
Lakeland,’ gives a very full account of the Marten in the Lake 
- District, with many interesting details regarding its habits and 
the local methods of hunting and trapping the ‘‘ Sweet Mart.” 
The animal still lingers in the Lake Country, though, unless 
steps be taken to preserve it, it will soon be exterminated. » 
Northumberland.—H. 1871, and two in May, 1883. 
Lincoinshire.—H. 1848, 1854, 1858, 1866, 1871, 1879, 1882. 
In ‘ The Zoologist,’ 1893, p. 854, one is recorded near Sleaford 
about 1889. 
Leicester.—H. Two or three many years ago. Mr. F. T. 
Mott informs me that a Marten was killed at Bradgate about 
1868; then none reported till December, 1908, when Mr. H. S. 
Davenport saw one in Tugby Wood. He recorded it at the time 
in the ‘ Field.’ 
Notts.—Mr. J. Whitaker thinks that the Marten must have 
formerly been found in Sherwood Forest. A specimen in 
Mr. Becker’s collection was killed at Winkburn in 1850, while 
two captured on the Worksop Manor estate in 1872 are men- 
tioned in the ‘ Victoria History.’ A Marten taken in a cellar at 
Nottingham in 1901 was doubtless an escape. 
Norfolk.—H. 1848, 1864, 1878. 
Suffolk—H. Three in 1811; male shot and another seen, 
1889 (Zool. 1892, p. 184). 
Cambridge.-—H. 1844. 
Northants.—H. 1840. 
Bedfordshire. — H. Prior to 1859. Mr. J. Steele Elliott 
has notes of several in the forties, and evidence that the animal 
was not uncommon early in the nineteenth century. 
Oxfordshire.—H. One or two many years ago.
