This animal appears to approach so extremely 
near to the L. Lutreola, or Smaller Otter^ before 
described^ as scarce to differ in any other circum- 
stance but that of wanting the white throat, in- 
stead of which it is entirely of a fine brown, with 
a cast of chesnut : the fur is very fine and glossy. 
It is probable also that this is the real Mina:' of 
the Americans, and that what has been said by 
Mr. Pennant relative to the Minx, under the ar- 
ticle of the Lesser Otter, should, in reality, be 
applied to this variety.
