XXXIV, Account of a Mole from North 
America : In a Letter to Dr, Maty, Sec. 
R, S. from th^ Hon. Daines Barrington, 
F. R. S. 
Dear Sir, 
Read May Send herewith a 
1771. 
I 
May 15, T771 
mole from North 
America, which Mr. Kuckahn (who 
hath before prefented feveral birds and infedls to the 
Society) delires they will do him the honour to place 
in their Mufeum. 
This fpecies of mole much refembles that of 
Europe in its general appearance, except in point of 
colour : to fhew, however, that there is a very ma- 
terial and fpecific difference between the two animals, 
I have inclofed the head of the common EngUfli 
mole, which contains all the teeth belonging to each 
jaw. 
The American fpecimen is not indeed fo perfedt 
in this refpedt ; but a fufficient number of teeth re- 
mains, to Ihew the diftindion between thefe two forts 
of moles. 
In the European, you will obferve hx cutting teeth 
in the upper jaw, which are followed by two canine 
ones.
