Fernandez, seems to be very like the Meles Labradoria.  <“‘ Inveni in agro 
-Tetzcocano animal pilosum valde, vocatum Tlalcoyotl, duas longum spithamas, 
unguibus melis, aut Quauhpecotli similibus, brevibus cruribus et nigro vestitis pilo, 
brevissima cauda, corpore toto ex albo vergente in fulvum, sed dorso, ac superna 
parte capitis, et colli nigris, lineaque distinctis candenti; caput est parvum, rostrum 
tenue, et longiusculum, canini exerti, ac vita victusque eadem quee Quauhpecotli,

Ytzcuintecuani, and the Quauhpecotli, or Meles montanus or Texon, of the same 
author, are probably of nearly allied genera. The latter has a long tail.

The glutton of the northern parts of Europe, the rossomak of the Russians, has

have been told of its extraordinary voracity, and of its method of procuring relief
