BAY LYNX. 
sides, and exterior parts of the legs, is a bright 
bay, obscurely marked with dusky spots. 
Down the face is marked with black stripes 
pointing to the nose. On each side of th« 
upper lip, there are three rows of minute black 
spots, with long stiff hairs issuing out of them» 
The orbits are edged with white. From be- 
neath each eye, certain long black stripes, of 
an incurvated form, mark the cheeks ; which, 
with the upper and under lip, whole under 
side of the body, and insides of the legs, are 
white. The upper part of the inside of the 
fore legs, is marked with two black bars. 
The upper part of the tail is barred with 
dusky strokes ; and, next the end, there is one 
of a deep black : it's tip, and under side, are i 
white. It is about twice the bigness of a large 
Cat ; the hair is shorter and smoother than j 
that of the Common Lynx. It inhabits the jl 
inner parts of the Province of New York." f 
This is all the information afforded us, 
Tespe6ling the Bay Lynx : which, however, 
seems to differ from the Canadian Lynx in co- 
lour only ; and, therefore, it is probable, tha 
their habits of life are precisely the same, botl 
resemblin.
