CANADIAN LYNX. 
tip of the nose, as well as the margin of the 
under jaw, is black. The whiskers are white 9 
and about three inches long. The ears are 
two inches three lines high; garnished in the 
inside with large white hairs, and with yellow-, 
ish hairs on the edges. The outer side of the 
ear is covered with mouse-coloured hair, and 
the external margins are black- At the ex- 
tremity of each ear, there is a large thin 
pencil of black hairs seven lines high. The 
tail, which is thick, short, and well furnished 
with hair, is only three inches nine lines in 
length: from the extremity, to the middle, it 
Is black ; and, afterwards, of a reddish whits 
colour. The under part of the belly, the 
hind-legs, the inside of the fore-legs, and the 
feet, are of a dirty white. The claws ate 
white, and about six lines long. 
This Lynx has a great resemblance, both 
in the spots and nature of the hair, to that of 
the Common Lynx, whose figure we have 
given ; but it differs in the length of the tail, 
and the pencils on the ears. The Canadian 
Lynx, therefore, may be regarded as a variety,, 
very different from the Lynx of the Old Con- 
tinent*
