Bahk Stripping, — A short time since some Btripa 
of Larch-bark were sent to us, with a request for 
information. The rectangular strips were 1 or 2 
inches long, quarter to half an inch wide, very 
regular and straight-edged. Squirrels were at once 
thought of, but we had never seen an injury of this 
kind effected by these animals, nor had the numbers 
of the Scientific Committee, to whom they were sub- 
mitted. Nuthatches were suggested, but now the 
culprits have been seen at work, and turn out to 
be as at first susoected— squirrels. Mr. Rothery, gr. 
to 0. O. Wrigley Esq., Wansfell, Windermere, writes : 
— " The speed with which they can tear off the bark 
would greatly astonish anyone. They have destroyed 
about 350 treer, ranging from 25 to 35 feet high, and 
some of them -are stripped 7 and 8 feet down, and 
the whole of them appear to have bean attacked some 
5 feet from the top. Their object is no doubt food, 
for they acrapa off the gultinous sabstance between 
tk|e bark and the TfOQ^.—Gcrdeners' ChronicL'^
