Badgers in North Yorkshire.— Referring to the notices of the occur- 

 rence of Badgers in North Yorkshire, Naturalist, pp. 36, 67, and 113, it may not 

 be out of place to remark that a few years ago several of these animals were turned 

 out in the woods surrounding Hutton Hall, near Guisbro', the seat of Sir J. W. 

 Pease, Bart., and it is not at all improbable that some of the individuals whose 

 capture is recorded, or their descendants, may have strayed from Hutton and been 

 killed in different parts of the district. One, in the possession of a friend of mine, 

 was found dead on Lord de Lisle's estate at Ingleby about a year ago, and is 

 probably the same as is referred to on pp. 67 and 113, — T. H. Nelson, Bishop 

 Auckland, 8th April, 1886.
