CLASS MAMMALIA.
Order vii. Carnivora, Carnivores.
The CARNIVORA, as now restricted, comprises the flesh-eating
animals of the world. They are arranged in two groups, the planti-
grade, or those that walk on the sole of the foot like the Bears, and
digitigrade, or those that walk on their toes like the Cats.
The Order comprises many different forms, and beside the terms
given above, its members are also called Fissiped Carnivora, or those
whose existence is mainly terrestrial, and Pinniped Carnivora, or
those whose structure is modified for living constantly in the water,
like the Walrus and Seals. The larger Terrestrial Carnivora are,
par excellence, the preying beasts of the earth, delighting in destruc-
tion, and living a life of rapine and violence, to be usually termi-
nated by a tragical death. Their only law is that which demands
"an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth"; mercy and compassion
are unknown virtues; their strength, cunning, and ferocity is arrayed
against the ability of all other creatures, and in their natural state
they stand alone on the earth, not knowing a single friend. And
yet, withal, they are amply endowed with means for their own pro-
tection, and while they may not always cope successfully with the
greatest of all their enemies — Man — yet even he is often vanquished
by their sagacity, and in personal conflict overcome by their superior
endurance and strength.
One species only among the Cats may be said to be habitually
domesticated, or if that seems too strong a term, semi-domesticated,
the Hunting Leopard (Cynailurus jubatus) which is kept in India
for the chase of the Black-buck chiefly, and which has many dog-like
qualities, and exhibits at times considerable affection for its keeper.
But this animal is an exception, and in its natural state is as savage
as any of the other Cats. While pre-eminently flesh-eaters, some
members of the Order are omnivorous, like the bears, which will eat
anything, and some few are partly vegetarians. The species are
generally armed with more or less sharp, powerful claws, very for-
midable in the bears and cats, and the members of the latter family
protect these from injury when not in use by withdrawing them into
a sheath. The bones of the skeleton are generally slender, yet very
strong, and those of the cats resemble ivory; while the teeth are
large and powerful, the sectorial or true molar being composed of a
441
442 FELID^E.
cutting knife-like blade with a varying number of cusps, and the
canines are long, frequently curved, with a cutting edge, and pointed.
The stomach is simple; the caecum, when present, is small, and the
vermiform appendix does not exist.
The first family, that of the Cats, is more highly specialized than
any other of the Carnivora, and among its members are the most
powerful of existing beasts of prey. Their attributes are various and
peculiar, and some are possessed by no other creature. The quick
vision, the acute hearing, the silent, stealthy, sinuous movement,
the sudden spring and fearsome roar, the crushing blow of the armed
paw, and attack of the scissor-acting blade-like teeth constitute
altogether the most paralyzing living engine of destruction known at
the present time among existing animals. Their prey consists of
warm-blooded creatures which have been killed by themselves, only
one species being an exception to this, an Indian Cat that lives on
fish which it captures in shallow waters. Their bones are solid and
like ivory, and the clavicles are set in the muscles, but are not articu-
lated with either scapula or sternum, and thus are preserved from
shock or injury when the heavy body alights on the fore paws after
some tremendous spring. The face is short, and the lower jaw is
incapable of lateral motion. The tongue is thickly covered with
papillae, which gives a rough surface, and in the larger species acts as
a file in stripping flesh from bones. The teeth are characteristic, and
the lower molar series ply within those of the upper, and cut the food
as would a pair of scissors. The sectorials and canines are very large,
and there is a wide diastema between the latter and the first pre-
molar on each side of both jaws. The claws are long, sharp, and
curved, terrible weapons of offense, tearing the flesh in a fearful
manner, and are retractile, resting, when not in use, in a sheath
that protects them from injury. The skin of cats hangs very
loosely, and parts of it are capable of being drawn half round the
body, a wise provision, as it thus yields to the stroke of the sharp
claws, and they can get no hold, and lacerations, consequently,
rarely occur. The pelage is of many colors, often brilliant in hues,
and decorated with various patterns, and frequently of a soft, even,
velvety texture, and this beautiful covering, with the graceful, silent
movements, as if performed by some imaginary spirit of a dream,
make these animals appear to the eye among the most attractive of
all quadrupeds.

Geogr. Distr. Apparently western Mexico, from State of Colima
north to San Bias.
Genl. Char. Color pale; black markings small; rosettes confined

*The Jaguars, like the species of most genera, have been "split" into vari-
ous races of the typical form, some of which are here given. The wisdom of
this method, carried as it often is to great extremes, is very questionable, espe-
cially with animals like these cats, that vary so greatly, even among individ-
uals from the same locality, that it is practically impossible to find two alike.
It is doubtful, as knowledge of these animals increases, if many of the races
can maintain anv kind of a distinctive rank.

*This seems to be a pale individual of F '. pardalis, such as is not infrequently
seen in a series of specimens from a single locality. Color in this most vari-
able species has but little specific value. The type in the U. S. National Mu-
seum. Washington, has been examined. Dr. Mearns states that the pattern
of this form is never exactly the same on any two specimens. Some twenty
years ago, when writing in the Monograph of the Felidae on the Ocelots, after
an exhaustive examir.ation of all the specimens then contained in the great
European Museums, as well as in those of this country, I was constrained to
say, regarding the coloration and patterns of the Ocelot, that, "to vary from
each other in the hue and arrangement of the spots and stripes of their coats
seems to be one of the chief efforts of the existence of these cats, and as if
not content with differing from his fellows, an Ocelot usually succeeds in exhib-
iting a distinct pattern on each of his sides, so that he may be said to differ
from himself." It will be, therefore, extremely easy to split the pardalis
group into any number of so-called subspecies, or even species, but very diffi-
cult to make them generallv recognizable by Mammalogists. The type of
F. limitis, so far as its color is concerned, dots not resemble the F. albcscens,
Pucheran .

OUNCE-LIKE CAT.
Type locality. Volcan de Irazri, Costa Rica.
*With the exception that the general ground color is said to be gray in-
stead of fulvous or tawny (also two distinctive hues) , there is nothing in Mr.
Thomas's description (1. c.), from which the above was taken, to enable any
one to distinguish this form from F. iigrina, and this light color may be, as
it is in other cases, an individual peculiarity. It is to be regretted that new
names should be given to the spotted cats, whose synonymy is already so vol-
uminous, until at least some agreement can be reached as to what forms the
majority of these appellations should be restricted, for new names with per-
plexing descriptions only serve to increase the confusion that may already
exist.
tThis animal is compared with F. pardinoides Gray, which has not been
satisfactorily separated from F. geoffroyi. It is reasonable to expect that this
should be done before a subspecies of F. pardinoides is created. It would
be difficult to accurately determine that any specimen was the same as Mr.
Thomas's species without comparison with the type, as there are but slight
specific characters indicated in the description, unless a "richer and deeper
ground color" may be so considered, but which is a comparative distinction
of questionable value.

*It would be more satisfactory if, in a genus where there is so much varia-

could have been more ample.
fDr. Merriam has describe'd at various times sundry species and subspecies
of Puma, basing his distinctive characters upon size, color, and certain differ-
ences in the skull. As regards size, that is hardly worth considering as a spe-
cific character; for all cats vary so greatly in their dimensions, even from the
same locality, that no dependence can be placed upon measurements; and sex
and age, even among adults, have much influence on the size of an animal

Geogr. Distr. West coast of North America, east to Rocky
Mountains, south into northern Mexico.
Genl. Char. Size variable; tail long; color variable.
Color. Upper parts and sides varying from dark to pale rufous
brown, occasionally almost of a gray shade, darkest on dorsal region ;
tail above like back, with a black tip, beneath either white on basal
portion, or all gray or grayish white; face with black patch on upper
lip on each side of nose; top of head and nose darker than back;
upper lip and throat white; belly white or grayish white, often tinged
with rufous; ears behind black with a paler spot on center; front
part of legs similar to body; hind part paler, often nearly white.
Measurements. Total length, 2000-2600, often less than 2000;
tail vertebrae, 750-900; hind foot, 260-270. Skull: adults, occipito-
nasal length, 175-202; Hensel, 144-167; zygomatic width, 124-142;
interorbital constriction, 34-41.5; across postorbital processes, 63-75;
without considering other causes. Color in these animals is equally unsatis-
factory; for whenever many Puma skins from any locality are compared, their
color will be seen to be mostly a matter of individual or seasonal variation.
As to skull dimensions and characters, none have yet been given, so far as I
have seen, that are permanent, by which I mean characters that are to be met
with in ALL skulls from even the srme locality. This being so, they cannot
be depended upon or maintained; for the same characters may be, and indeed
are, found in skulls of Pumas killed many miles apart, and which rejoice in
different names. Dr. Merriam has separated the Puma from Colonia Garcia
in the State of Chihuahua, Mexico, as a distinct form under the name of F.
hippolestes aztecus, giving such characters as "narrow interorbital region;
frontals elevated, arched; sagittal crest less highly developed; bullae variable;
tail without white beneath, and a dull grayish fulvous color on the upper parts."
There are in the collection of the Field Columbian Museum five topotypes of this
animal, varying in size and color, from one as large as a big northwest speci-
men to a moderately sized individual, and in color from a rather pale hue to
one indistinguishable from the Pumas of Montana and British Columbia, with
which a comparison has been made, and also exhibiting tails with and without
white beneath. The skulls do not average narrower in the interorbital region,
in fact some are wider than those of their northern relatives, the frontals are
neither more elevated nor arched, the sagittal crest is present in all, and varies
in development, as will be the case in all cat skulls which have it at all. The
bullas vary greatly in size in all, more so perhaps in the Chihuahua specimens
than in the others, but there are more of them than from any other particular
locality, so this fact cannot be definitely determined, but the variation among
the Mexican specimens is so great as to prove that for form or size the dimensions
of the bullae, in these examples at least, are worthless as specific char-
acters. "Total length" depends, as a rule, mainly upon the length of tail,
and this member differs greatly in that respect in this family, the caudal ver-
tebrae in some individuals of the same species and from the same locality often
varying in number. This I have known to be the case among lions and other
big cats. After a very careful investigation and comparison, therefore, of
these Colonia Garcia specimens with those from the north and northwestern
United States and British Columbia, I do not find a single intelligible charac-
ter by which they can be separated, and have placed F. h. aztecus as a syno-
nym of F. oregonensis Rafin, expressing at the same time very great doubts if
this northwestern animal has any claims to be considered distinct from the
Pumas inhabiting the other portions of the United States, no dependable char-
acters having yet been suggested by which the animals of one section can be
accurately and definitely distinguished at all times from those of another.

HERPESTINJE. HERPESTES. 461
Subfam. I. Herpestinse.
The members of the subfamily HERPESTIN^E are rather small
terrestrial animals, which in the pursuit of their prey sometimes
climb trees. Active and courageous, they are constantly searching
for their food, which consists of various small quadrupeds, birds,
reptiles, insects, and eggs. The species are Indian, African, and
one European found in Spain. The genus is not indigenous to the
American Continent, and the single species recorded below was
imported into Porto Rico, Jamaica, and other islands of the West
Indies in order that the snakes, which were very numerous in some
of them, might be exterminated; for this little animal is a deadly foe
to all serpents, and does not hesitate to attack the most venomous,
even the deadly cobra, which it almost invariably destroys. It was
supposed, and in Oriental countries the belief still exists, that the
Ichneumon, or Mungoose, as it is generally called, when bitten by a
poisonous reptile like the cobra, immediately seeks for a root known
in India as manguswail, and eats it for an antidote. There is, how-
ever, no foundation for this story; and the fact is the Mungoose
escapes the strokes of the snake simply by its wonderful activity.
It may possibly be less susceptible to poison than many mammals;
but if a cobra happens to strike a Mungoose fairly it dies, as any
other creature would. This animal is a good ratter, and will clear
any place infested by rats and mice in a short time. In Jamaica it
has nearly exterminated the rats that inflicted much injury to the
sugar cane, and it also killed the snakes; and now for lack of these
creatures, it has turned its attention to chickens and native birds
and their eggs, and has become very much of a pest itself, threatening
the poultry of the inhabitants as well as their forest birds. The
importation into a country of most animals that are foreign to it,
while a possible benefit for a time, will almost certainly prove, if
they survive, a greater evil than the one they were expected to cure.
When angry, the Mungoose growls and raises the hair upon the body,
and especially that of the tail, and this erect, thick covering probably
helps to shield it from the attacks of serpents when fighting with
these reptiles.

• The family CANID/E contains various animals, such as Dogs,
Wolves, Foxes, Jackals, etc., which have a great uniformity of struc-
ture and similar habits. It is a cosmopolitan group, and its members
are sociable, fond of each other's society, and some of the species
usually hunt in packs, and are possessed of more intelligence than
falls to the lot of most quadrupeds. A great number of species and
many varieties are recognized, some of them very unsatisfactorily
defined. The group is divided into two series, the Lupine and the
Vulpine, the former containing the wild and domestic Dogs, Wolves,
and Jackals, the latter the true Foxes and their allies. These are
distributed over many lands, and their coats, like those of the cats,
vary in length of hair and thickness of fur according as the climate is
productive of excessive degrees of heat or cold. As a general rule,
the animals of northern habitats are larger and more powerful than
their brethren of southern latitudes, but their habits are the same.
464 CANIDJE. CANINE. CANIS.
Unlike Cats, which depend upon a stealthy approach and sudden
spring to secure their prey, the members of the Canidae run their's
down in the open, frequently giving cry as they speed onward in the
chase. The species most dreaded are the great timber wolves, which,
when rendered desperate by hunger, assemble in packs, and do not
hesitate to attack any animal on their domain, not even man himself.
Jackals and Coyotes are little wolves by comparison, the former
inhabitants of the Old World, the latter of the New. Wild Dogs are
also natives of the Eastern Hemisphere in parts of Central Asia, and
the Oriental region ; none are found in North America. The' Vulpine
group has many species of true foxes, as well as some genera con-
taining doglike animals of the wolf series, like the Cape Hunting Dog
of Africa (Lycaon pictus) and the Bush Dog of South America
(Icticyon venaticus}. The variations in the structure of the members
of the Canidae are very slight, consisting in the number of molar
teeth, some possessing more, others less, and in the case of the Hunt-
ing Dog, fewer toes, and the same number on all feet. Trifling
variations in the skull and the size of the teeth have been seized
upon for specific distinction, but like the numberless shades of color
in their coats, but little dependence can be placed on the majority of
these characters for a satisfactory specific diagnosis. The gradations
from one form to another in all the members of this family would
seem to defy all efforts to affix a boundary to many of those desig-
nated as worthy of separate rank.

Foxes, with their pointed noses and long bushy tails, are familiar
animals to most persons. The very shape of the head gives these
creatures that aspect of cunning and sagacity for which they are
eminently noted. Foxes are fond of solitude, and live alone in a
burrow which each individual has dug for himself or appropriated by
force from some other animal, the sufferer being frequently the
badger. Sometimes a family may inhabit a single burrow, the dog
Fox remaining with the mother after the cubs are born, and woe to
the occupants of the hen coops in their vicinity while they remain in
residence. Two genera of Foxes are recognized in North America,
Urocyon and Vulpes, distinguished by the presence or absence of a
hidden stiff -haired mane in the tail, and by some cranial characters.

The Gray Foxes, included in the present genus, are represented in
North America by a number of species and races varying considerably
in size, the smallest not being more than half that of the well-known
eastern Gray Fox. They are very handsome animals, but not pos-
sessed of the cunning equal to that of the Red Fox, and in the struggle
for existence seem, in their diminishing numbers, to be giving way to
their more fit relative.

With the Bears begins the second division of the Garni vora, the
Plantigrades, or those that walk on the sole of the foot. In a degree
these animals are terrestrial and semi-aquatic, the Polar Bear proba-
bly passing the major portion of its life in the water. They are
among the largest of quadrupeds in bulk, and although the species
are comparatively few, they are found over a large portion of the
World. They are omnivorous, nothing seeming to go amiss with
their voracious appetite, from the diminutive ant to the bullock.
All kinds of roots, grasses, and other vegetable foods are eaten by
them, and if the nest of the honey-bee can be discovered, these beasts
consider themselves in great luck, and greedily devour the sweet store
of which they are extremely fond, bearing the numerous stings
received from the angry insects with fortitude, although their mani-
festations of disgust and rage at the punishment received may be
many and violent. Beside the Polar Bear in the Arctic region, there
are in North America, the Alaskan Brown Bear, the Grizzly, the
Cinnamon or Black Bears, and the Glacier Bear, with sundry races
of these of more or less questionable distinctive value. Within the
limits of territory comprised in this work, two of the Bears above men-
tioned are found, the Black or Cinnamon, and the Grizzly, and these
are separated from their relatives of the more northern portion of
the continent on account of some variation in the skulls. Wherever
found, the habits of North American Bears are practically the same,

and from spring to late autumn they constantly roam the woods and
open places searching for food. Some Grizzlies are said to reach a
weight of 1,000 to 1,200 pounds, but such enormous beasts are rare,
the majority being very much smaller. It is not very unusual, how-
ever, to find one of these animals that will measure eight feet, and
even more, when standing erect upon its hind legs. In Mexico Bears
are found in the mountain ranges, sometimes at high altitudes.

The Raccoon family includes the various forms of "Coons" (the
animals so familiar to all the inhabitants of North America), such as
the well-known Coati-mondis of South America (one species ranging

north into Mexico), the less familiar Cacamistl or Raccoon-foxes of
the Pacific coast, and the Pottos or Kinkajous. All these are arboreal
in their habits, for although they are very much at home upon the
ground, they pass the larger portion of their time amid the branches,
and make their nests, and bring forth their young in a hollow portion
of a tree. The PROCYONID^E is not a large family, containing, at pres-
ent, only a little over twenty-five species and races, of which about ten
belong to the Raccoons and their allies, six to the Coatis, four to the
Raccoon-foxes, and nine to the Kinkajous. They are all long-tailed
animals, the majority having this member annulated in colors of
strong contrast.
Fam. V. Procyonidse. Raccoons, Coatis,
Kinkajous, etc.
Head broad behind, tapering rapidly forward to a narrow muzzle,
which is sometimes elongate; ears moderate; feet plantigrade; soles
naked, skin papillose; toes free, capable of being widely spread;
claws curved, acute, non-retractile; tail moderately long, semi-
bushy, generally annulated ; body rather stout ; legs moderately long.
Subfam. Procyoninse.
American species have the alisphenoid canal wanting in the skull.
The handsome animals belonging to the first genus of the Family
are found in the United States on the Pacific Coast from Oregon
to Mexico, and also in various parts of the latter country, and are
remarkable for the beauty of their tails, which are bushy and broadly
ringed in black and white. In their structure the Raccoon-foxes are
apparently allied to several families, and they have been assigned to
various ones by different systematists, but now are generally placed
with Raccoons and other members of the Procyonidce. They live on
small birds and mammals, insects, etc., make a moss-lined nest in
the hollow of some tree, and have four young. The Raccoon-fox is
easily tamed, and makes a pleasing pet, and as it is a good ratter,
will soon clear a house of rats and mice. In appearance, with its
short head, pointed muzzle, and projecting ears, it resembles the Fox,
and in the loose pelage and ringed tail, the Raccoon.

The animals contained in the next genus are so well known that
they can be dismissed in a few words. The common species, P. lotor,
is the type, and is a rather clumsy creature, stoutly built and slow of
movement, with a thick, coarse coat of moderately long hair. It is
omnivorous, feeds upon everything it can masticate, is strictly noc-
turnal, and is fond of resorting to the banks of lakes and streams. It
is a good swimmer and expert fisher, and secures its finny prey by
snatching it out of the shallows. The Raccoon hibernates in the
hollow of a tree trunk or of some dead limb, where it passes the
severest winter months, and the young are born in the spring, usually
four or six in number. Coons are cleanly in their habits, and wash
everything before eating, even shell-fish being so treated. It is a
very cunning animal, and employs considerable strategy when
escaping from its enemies, and is also most inquisitive, and exceed-
ingly restless at all times except when asleep. There are several
varieties, more or less closely resembling the type, and one species
with shorter fur and a more slender body lives principally upon crabs,
and derives its trivial name from those crustaceans.

494 NASUA.
The Coatis are chiefly arboreal in their habits, and are remarkable
for the lengthened, flexible nose, which is capable of movement in
almost any direction, and also of being made perfectly rigid at the
will of the animal. Three species and six subspecies only are known,
resembling each other somewhat in the color of their coat, which is,
however, even in individuals of the same species, liable to assume a
great variety of hues wholly independent of age or sex, and which
range from a reddish brown and orange to pale brown. Like the
other members of the family, the Coati-Mundis, as they are some-
times called, are omnivorous, and eat birds, mammals, insects, fruit,
or in fact almost anything they can get. They go in small bands of
a dozen or more, but sometimes an old male may be seen by himself,
if it is not in the pairing season; but females are never found alone.
It is an inquisitive animal and pries with its long nose or claws into
everything that attracts its attention, and like the coon, is very
mischievous and always busy and restless. The long tail, though
not prehensile, is sometimes used to draw objects within reach of its
paws. The various species range over a great extent of country, and
are found from Mexico to Paraguay in South America, and from the
Atlantic Coast to the Andean range.

One species and eight subspecies of the next rather aberrant genus
are known. Unlike its relatives of the previous genera, the Kinkajou
has a prehensile tail, which it can coil round a branch and render its
position in a tree most secure. With its hind feet it is very dexterous,
and can with them easily place food in its mouth ; and although there
are no opposable thumbs on the hands, and its fingers are webbed for
almost their entire length, these peculiarities offer no obstacles for
the expert use of these members. It is a rather small animal, the
body being only about a foot and a half in length, head broad and
round, limbs short, and the tail long. It walks with the soles of both
hands and feet upon the ground, but the heels are raised. It is
arboreal, a facile climber, and when descending a tree or branch
comes as often head first as in any other manner. It is fond of
insects, which it draws from their retreats with its long and flexible
tongue, and is very fond of the honey of the wild bee. Nocturnal in
habits, it avoids the light, and is rarely seen by day, but becomes very
active at nightfall. It has a gentle disposition, and is easily tamed,
although in the wild state it is said to be fierce enough. Two of the
subspecies only are found within the limits embraced in this work.

The family MUSTELID^; is a large one and widely distributed
over the earth. It is composed of many genera containing species
that differ greatly in structure and habits, some dwellers of the
plains, others of the woods, and still others which are aquatic, whose
home is in the rivers, lakes, and seas, from which their subsistence is
obtained. It is from the members of this family that the most
valuable furs are procured. The majority of the species are dwellers
in the northern parts of the earth, only a few being inhabitants of
the region of which this work treats. Most species of the Mustelidae
have the capacity of secreting, and also of discharging, sometimes to
a considerable distance, a fetid substance which proves a most effec-
tive means of defense. The glands which form the secretory appar-
atus are most highly developed in the Mephitina. So varied are the
MUSTELID^; that any arrangement of the different forms cannot be
otherwise than highly artificial, some of the gaps between the genera
being wide and important.
Fam. VI. Mustelidse. Badgers, Weasels, Otters, etc.
A single tubercular molar tooth on each side of both jaws; in the
upper molar the inner tubercular portion is longest in the antero-
posterior direction; bullae slightly inflated; palate extending beyond
the last molars; feet five-toed, plantigrade or digitigrade; no caecum.
The Badger, representing the first genus of the subfamily, is
eminently a digger, and lives in a burrow from which it rarely ven-
tures any distance by day. Its short legs and broad, flat body give
it the appearance when running of almost sweeping the ground. Its
movements are slow, and if it imagines it can escape notice, it will
remain motionless, crouching as low as possible, and at such a time
a near approach is not impossible. The Badgers of Europe and
America, although they resemble each other somewhat in outward
appearance, differ so much in teeth and shape of skull that they can-
not even be included in the same genus. The American typical
species is an inhabitant of the more northern and western portion of
MUSTELIDJE. MELINJE. TAXIDEA. 503
North America, while the two races that are found in Mexico differ
very materially in their markings and also in color. The burrows
made by these animals are often extensive, and in loose soil are
twenty feet or more in length ; and as the animal digs with wonderful
rapidity, it does not take it long to construct such a burrow and bury
itself out of sight. Badgers are chiefly nocturnal and omnivorous,
eating mammals, birds, reptiles, insects, fruits, in fact anything they
may obtain that can be regarded as food. They are very ferocious,
and great fighters when cornered, but their first idea when an enemy
appears is to get back to the burrow as quickly as possible, and an
individual never leaves this haven of refuge unless everything is
quiet and no enemy in sight. So great is this animal's strength that
the largest dog would find it difficult, if not impossible, to pull a
badger out of his burrow, as it grasps the sides with feet and nails,
and becomes about as immovable as the walls themselves. It has
hardly any enemy but man that it need fear, its great strength and
facility in digging affording it means of rapid escape from any car-
nivorous beast that dwells in the same region. Badgers hibernate in
high latitudes.

Skunks are nocturnal in their habits and are not very often seen
abroad by day. Slow of movement, incapable of running with any
degree of speed, its teeth and claws comparatively feeble, the skunk
would be one of the most helpless and defenseless of creatures if it
were not for the terrible battery it carries ever ready to be dis-
charged, and before whose overpowering fetid odor the boldest
animal hastens to escape. So penetrating and permeating is this
dreadful scent, that it can be detected at the distance of a mile, and
if the liquid reaches the eye it is intensely irritating and painful, and
may cause the loss of sight. The Skunk is a very cleanly animal, and
is careful not to get any of the discharge upon its own fur, lifting its
bushy, ornamental tail high over its back far out of harm's way.
This movement is a provision of Nature, for it acts upon certain
muscles, and causes them to compress the sacs containing the fluid
and give an increased force to the discharge. It is stated that if a
skunk is seized and held up by its tail it is harmless, but few persons
would take the chances and try the experiment to prove if this is
really a fact. The distance the fluid can be ejected is about ten feet.
Skunks are omnivorous, eating almost anything that they can masti-
cate, and often approach buildings in the country in search of food,
frequently taking up their abode beneath the porch, or in the cellar,
which they reach by digging. Their presence is soon evident, and
they prove most unwelcome visitors. The bite of the skunk is severe,
and it has been proved that it can inflict hydrophobia, but there is
no authenticated instance of a rabid skunk, and the cause for this
fearful result is a mystery. Skunks live in burrows, and are expert
diggers of these subterranean abodes, and they hibernate during the
winter. There are numerous so-called species and races very much
MEPHITIS. 507
alike in appearance and habits. The skunk is not what may be
called gregarious, but frequently a family of five or six may be seen
together; more often, however, only single individuals are met with.
It is a handsome animal, and the tail is really beautiful, with its long^
flowing black and white hairs waving like a plume. The litters are
large, six to eight, possibly occasionally more young are produced at
a birth, and these generally remain underground until able to take
care of themselves.

indeed some individuals probably exceed all other skunks in size.
In structure they differ from species of the genus Mephitis in being
heavier in body, with an elongate snout more like that of a pig. The
fur is coarse and harsh, and the entire back is often pure white, the
dorsal stripes having united, but in others again the color of the
upper parts resemble that of the true skunks.

The little spotted skunks are, in appearance, the prettiest mem-
bers of the tribe, their variously spotted and striped black and white
coats making them very attractive. But their favorable qualities are
all in their dress, for they are as odoriferous for their size as their
larger brethren. These little animals have habits very similar to those
of the large skunks, are omnivorous, and are often found in the vi-
cinity of streams and lakes. They have been divided into rather
numerous species, some of which are difficult to determine.

624 ORISON.
The Orisons, as the animals of the genus GRISON are called, are
plantigrade, with a weasel-like body, short legs, and a long tail.
They live in the hollows of trees, or cavities in rocks, or holes in the
earth; in fact, in any kind of place that will afford them a refuge and
shelter, and often keep in the neighborhood of houses or farm build-
ings. In general appearance they are not unlike the Marten.

The genus PUTORIUS is a large one, and contains the true Weasels,
Ferrets, and Mink, and is divided into several sections having sub-
generic values. The largest number of species are included in the
true Weasels here placed under the subgeneric term, Arctogale, the
members of which living in boreal regions turn white in winter.
Great difference is observable in size between males and females, the
latter being very much smaller. The Arctic weasel is valued for its
fur, which is the well-known ermine of commerce. The weasel is
remarkable for its long, sinuous body and neck, flat serpentlike head,
short legs, and a moderately long tail. It is wonderfully quick in
its movements, and in the pursuit of its quarry is able to enter any
hole or penetrate any underground gallery in which its prey may
have sought refuge, the lithe, flexible body accommodating itself to
all the twists and turns met with. Possessed of good sight, it follows
a fleeing animal at full speed, but when its prey is lost to view it then
tracks it by its keen scent, exhibiting all the tactics of the well-
trained hound, doubling on its course and following every movement
of the creature hunted, and when the track is momentarily lost,
making wide circles in order to strike it again. In the chase of any
animal the weasel is indefatigable, and few escape its relentless pur-
PUTORIUS. 529
suit. Weasels are fierce and bloodthirsty and destroy many more
animals than they can possibly devour, merely to gratify their passion
for killing. Rats and mice speedily disappear from a locality in
which a weasel has taken up its abode, and in performing this service
it confers a benefit on the farmer, and so makes some amends for the
destruction it may commit among the poultry. This active creature
seems ever in motion, and its course is marked by blood and rapine,
as it investigates every hole and burrow, penetrating to the very
extremity of the galleries and slaying all creatures it may meet that
may not be too powerful for it to grapple with successfully ; and while
on these forays an abundance of food does not restrain it or cause it
to remain near a well-stocked larder, but its bloodthirsty proclivities
impel it onward in search of more opportunities to kill. If the great
cats were endowed in proportion to their size with an agility and
physical power equal to that of this little murderer, it would be a
doubtful question if even man could successfully cope with them in a
struggle for the mastery. The weasel is not abundant in any locality,
and it is a solitary animal, but a family usually passes the first summer
together. It is mostly a nocturnal animal, rarely seen by day, and
lives in crevices of the rocks, in hollow stumps or trees, and also in
burrows underground, selecting those of rodents it has either
destroyed or driven away. The average litter is about six, but at
times this number is greatly exceeded. Anal glands are present in
weasels which contain a fluid that can be ejected in a fine spray, and
which is very offensive, only slightly less so than that of the skunk.

Otters are mainly aquatic in their habits, and their food is fish,
which they capture by swimming. In the water the Otter moves
with ease, its action even graceful, and it dives instantaneously
either to escape danger or to pursue its finny prey. The nest or sleep-
ing place of this animal is formed of grass, and is usually placed
among the roots of a tree, or in a hole in the bank of a stream, or in
the hollow of a tree near water. As a digger the Otter is not famous,
and its retreats are usually those formed by nature, or by some bur-
rowing animal. Otters are playful creatures, and their chief amuse-
ment is sliding. The highest place in the bank, or if in winter the
topmost ridge of snow is selected, and lying on its stomach with the
front legs laid backward, giving itself a push with the hind feet, it
glides head-first down the declivity, and this is repeated many times,

the animal after each descent scrambling awkwardly to the top for
another plunge downward. Otters are eagerly sought by trappers,
on account of their beautiful fur, which is very thick and of a rich
color, and possesses good wearing qualities. It has been pursued,
like all other fur-bearing animals, with such persistency and success,
that in most localities it has become very scarce, and in others has
disappeared entirely. North of Mexico a number of species and
races are recognized at the present time, and how many exist south
of the Mexican boundary is not definitely known.

Order viii. Pinnipedia. Sea-lions, Seals, etc.
J. A. Allen, History of North American Pinnipeds, U. S. Geol. &
Geog. Surv., 1880.
St. G. Mivart, Notes on the Pinnipedia, Proc. Zool. Soc., 1885.
The members of the PINNIPEDIA are constructed for a life in the
water, although some species, like the Sea-bears and Sea-lions, are
capable in emergencies of progressing on the land with considerable
rapidity, but the majority are practically helpless when out of the
water, and they progress on shore by a series of hitches affected by
the action of the ventral muscles. Their feet are webbed, and the
greater portion of their limbs is hidden within the skin. The body
tapers towards both ends like that of a fish, and is covered with a
thick coating of fat as a protection against cold, for most species of
this Order are boreal in their habitats. The food of these animals is
fish and other marine creatures, which they catch by swimming, or
as in the case of crustaceans, are taken from rocks, or the bottom of
the sea. While their lives are for the most part passed in the sea,
they always come to the land to bring forth their young. Widely
distributed, they are found in most of the seas of the Globe, and yet
are not very numerous in species. Gregarious by nature, they often
go in large herds, and certain of them, like the Fur Seal, are preyed
upon by Cetaceans, Such as the various species of Orcas or Killer
Whales, etc. Of their skins, that of the Fur Seal is most valuable,
but the species is rapidly verging towards extinction. Certain of
these aquatic animals are of enormous size, some, like the Walrus,
weighing nearly a ton.
Fam. I. Otariidji'. Sea-lions.
Aquatic carnivora, with the limbs inclosed in the general tegu-
ment beyond the knees and elbows. Five digits on each limb, the
first and fifth of the hind limbs generally the longest and stoutest,
those of the front limbs decreasing in size from first to fifth. Body
and neck elongate; fore feet nearly as large as the hind feet, the
latter capable of expansion, and with distinct claws on the three
middle digits ; front feet without claws ; tail very short ; when walking
hind feet are turned forward under the body, supporting it; ears
external; interorbital constriction of skull great; facial portion short,
rather broad; two central pairs of upper incisors with a transverse
538

groove; postorbital processes developed; alisphenoid canal present;
testes external in a scrotum.
The Sea-lions are among the largest of aquatic animals, a full-
grown male being over thirteen feet in length, and with an average
weight of one thousand pounds. They are generally found in large
herds, sunning themselves, or sleeping on the rocks near the sea, into
which they plunge when alarmed. The sound of their deep growling,
or loud roars, is constantly vibrating among the rocky islands to
which they are accustomed to resort, and betrays their presence to
any one in the vicinity. Sea-lions are not courageous as a rule in
the presence of man, and make the most violent efforts to escape if
on land, but once in the water their curiosity overpowers to a great
degree their fears, and they swim about, lifting themselves half out
of water at times, in order to obtain a good look at the unwelcome
intruder. They are valuable animals to the natives, who make
waterproof clothing and various other articles from the skins, sinews,
and intestines.

Two species only are known belonging to the next genus, one,
the West Indian Seal, of the islands in the Gulf of Mexico and the
Bahamas, and the other an inhabitant of the Mediterranean and adja-
cent portions of the Atlantic Ocean. Formerly the West Indian
Seal was found in many of the islands contained within the range of
its distribution, but the same cause that has reduced the number of
others of its relatives, who were dwellers of the sea, has also left but
a comparatively few individuals to represent the species in our
tropical waters, and it is probable that in a comparatively few years
it will have entirely disappeared.

The Fur Seals are best known by the northern animals whose
skin has such a high commercial value and whose rockeries or breeding
places on the St. George and St. Paul islands of the Pribilof group,
are familiar to so many. On a few places like the Guadalupe Island
off the coast of Lower California, the Gallapagos Islands, and sundry
others about the coasts of Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, a few
members of the once great herds of the Southern Fur Seal may still
remain, but they seem to be rapidly decreasing in numbers, and
recent expeditions have failed to find any living individuals on some
of the islands mentioned above, and have been able to bring back only
skulls or parts of skeletons. Like other animals whose fur has a high
commercial value, the prospect that these animals have for surviving
the rapacity of man is but slight.

Lower California ai • °atagonia. They are enormous creatures
rivaling the Walrus i mlk and stated to reach twenty-five to thirty
feet in length. This great size, however, is found only in the animal
from Heard 's Island near the Patagonian coast. Their circum-
ference is said to reach eighteen feet. Probably the individual varia-
tion among them is very great, and the females are much smaller
than the males. The young and the females have no proboscis,
but the males have one that in moments of excitement can be elongated
to the extent of twenty inches or more. Formerly it is probable
that these animals were quite numerous in the localities they fre-
quented, but incessant slaughter has so reduced their numbers that
the northern species is even now practically extinct, and the southern
one has disappeared from some of its customary haunts. It is to
be much regretted that man's insatiable greed is gradually extermi-
nating the more valuable animals from the earth.

N. Am. Faun., No. 10, 1895.
The Order Insectivora comprises a number of mammals mostly
quite small, with the muzzle projecting considerably beyond the
end of the lower jaw, the majority of which are terrestrial, some
aquatic, and others arboreal, with one genus (Galeopithecus of the
Malay Peninsula and islands of the eastern Archipelago), containing
two species, that have the ability to voyage through the air for
brief distances by means of a membrane stretched between the limbs
and body and which bears them up like a parachute, after the manner
of the Flying Squirrels. The Order is represented in the temperate
portions of the Old and the New World save in South America and
Australia, and with the exception of the members of one family,
all are nocturnal. The exception is the Tupaiidae, containing the
Tree-shrews, which, as their trivial name implies, are arboreal crea-
tures, very like squirrels in appearance and in many of their ways,
and there are instances where some of them mimic the general dress
of a certain species of squirrel so closely, that it is impossible to
distinguish one from the other unless on a near inspection. As
indicated by the name bestowed upon these creatures, Insectivorous
Mammals, they subsist upon insects mainly, though Potomogalc
vclox from West Africa is admirably formed for an aquatic life, and
is said to live on fish, while the chief diet of moles is earth worms.
Fruits at times are also eaten by them, and flesh when they can get
it. Glands giving forth a noxious odor exist in many of the species,
and these probably are a means of protection. In American shrews
these glands are placed usually on the sides of the body, but mem-
bers of some of the foreign genera have anal pouches which discharge
their secretion through ducts. While usually possessing a furry coat,
some species of the Order are protected by spines, which like miniature
quills of the Porcupine are short and pointed, and when danger ap-
proaches the animal rolls itself into a ball leaving no soft part visible, the
menacing spines standing out in all directions. The teeth are peculiar,
and in numerous species the canines, incisors and nearest premolars
547
548 SORICIDJE. SORICIN^S.
are not especially differentiated, so that it is difficult to tell one
from the other. The molars have numerous sharp cusps arranged
in a V or W-shaped pattern, and the crowns may be either quad-
rangular or triangular. The incisors are always four in the mandible
and the innermost pair is often larger than the canines. The toes
are furnished with claws, and are usually five on each foot, with the
thumb and great toe not opposable to the other digits. The greater
portion of the sole of the foot is placed upon the ground, and they
never walk upon the toes. The upper surface of the brain is smooth,
and the testes are situated near the kidneys and are not placed in a
scrotum. Only three families of the Order come within the scope
of this work, the SORICID^E or Shrews, TALPID^E or Moles, and the
SOLENODONTID.E or Solenodons, of which last but two species are
known, the curious Almiqui of Cuba, and the Agouta of Haiti.
The largest family of the Insectivora is the SORICID,E, which
comprises over half the known species. The body is hairy, the nose
is long and overhangs the mouth, and the animals are very mouse-
like in appearance, while some of the species are among the smallest
of the Mammalia. Shrews are very widely distributed in both
Hemispheres, and possess a very uniform structure. These little
animals live chiefly in the forests, and are also found in marshy
places, sometimes in cultivated fields. They do not confine themselves
by any means to an insectivorous diet, but devour worms, small
birds, or any scraps of meat that fall in their way. Their own bodies
are rejected as food by other quadrupeds, the secretions from their
glands making them too offensive. American Shrews have been
divided into several genera, two of which, NEOSOREX and ATOPHYRAX,
contain species that are aquatic in their habits.
Fam. I. Soricidse. Shrews.
Skull: long, narrow; no zygomatic arches, nor postorbital pro-
cesses; tympanic not forming a bulla. Upper molar cusps with pat-
tern like a W ; first upper incisor large and hook-like with basal cusp
on posterior border; no caecum; pubic arch closed; tibia and fibula
united. Nose long, overhanging the mouth.
Subfam. I. Soricinse.
Summits of teeth colored red.
Sorex is the largest genus of the family, and is very numerously
represented in North America, the species ranging from northern
Alaska and Hudson Bay south into Mexico. Many of the named
forms have a very close resemblance to each other, and probably too
SOREX.
549
many have been given even a subspecific rank. Increased knowledge
and more familiarity with series of specimens will eventually correct
whatever errors have been committed.

The next family comprises the Moles, which have strictly subter-
raneous habits. Their underground dwelling-place is constructed
with considerable skill and ingenuity and affords a convenient lair
for rest or refuge. It has been described as a "central nest, placed
under a hillock in some protected situation, as under a bank, or
between the roots of trees. It is lined with dry grass or leaves, com-
municates with the main run by four passages, of which only one
joins it directly leading downward for a short distance and then
ascending again. The other three are directed upward and com-
municate at regular intervals with a circular gallery constructed in
TALPIDA.. 563
the upper part of the hillock, which in turn communicates by five
passages leading downward and upward with a much larger gallery
placed lower down on a level with the central nest, from which pas-
sages proceed outward in different directions, only one communi-
cating directly with the main run, while the other, curving round,
either soon joins or ends blindly. The main run is somewhat wider
than the animal's body; its walls are smooth and formed of closely
compressed earth, the depth varying according to the nature of the
soil, but ordinarily from four to six inches. From the main run
numerous passages are formed on each side, along which the animal
hunts its prey, throwing out the soil in the form known as mole-hills."
Moles are admirably adapted for their underground life, the fore
limbs being short and exceedingly muscular, and their broad, naked
hands, with the palms directed outward, make a most effective
"shovel" for digging a passage through the earth. The body is cov-
ered with a short, dense, velvety fur, which almost entirely hides the
eye; the head appears placed between the shoulders, and the ear has
no conch. Moles are voracious feeders, and will eat almost any kind
of flesh, although earthworms are their chief food. Vegetable matter
they will not touch. Moles have from four to six young, the period
of gestation being about six weeks. These animals are very pugna-
cious, and should two happen to meet in one of their underground
roads, one must seek refuge in the nearest alley entering that road,
or the combat that must inevitably ensue, would prove fatal to the
weaker individual. Moles seem to be always hungry, and they soon
die if made to fast, and should two be confined in one cage without
food for any length of time, the stronger would devour the weaker.
These animals are distributed in both Hemispheres, chiefly in the
northern portions, and in North America they have not been found
south of Mexico. While a majority of the known species of the
Family are terrestrial in their habits, a few species confined to the
Old World are aquatic. However, even the common Mole will some-
times venture into the water, for one was once seen paddling to a
small island in the Loch of Cluny, Scotland, on which'there were mole
hills. Moles commit much damage in gardens and fields, and fre-
quently greatly disfigure well-kept lawns and ornamental grounds by
the unsightly mounds they raise above their tunnels.

But two living species of the next Family are known, and
there are no extinct forms that can be associated with them. These
curious creatures are rather large animals, about the length of a big
house rat, but heavier, with rather long legs and claws. The snout
is very long, extending far beyond the mouth, and the tail is also
elongated. There are no spines amid the fur, which is soft, and the
colors are brownish black and white. The species do not seem to be
numerously represented, as comparatively few individuals have been
taken, and specimens are very rarely seen in collections. Little is
known of their habits, but it is stated that they will attack poultry,
and if pursued, imitate the Ostrich by hiding the head in the first
hole they find, and fancy themselves concealed. This idea may have
arisen from an individual trying to enter a hole too small for its body,
and remained only partly hidden until captured. The Cuban species
is found among the mountains in the interior of the island. Of the
Haitian species still less is known. The shape of the molar teeth
connect these animals with the Centetidae, of which the Tenrec,
Centetes caudatus, may be considered the representative.

Order X. Chiroptera, Bats,
H. Allen, A Monograph of the Bats of North America, 1864, 2d ed.
1893, Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., Wash. No. 43.
G. E. Dobson, Catalogue of the Chiroptera in the British Museum,

G. S. Miller, Revision of North American Bats of the Family Ves-
pertilionida, North American Fauna, 1897, No. 13.
The Order CHIROPTERA contains those mammals whose structure
has been so modified as to permit of extended aerial progression.
The fingers are greatly elongate, and between them is spread a
delicate sensitive membrane, extending to the legs, and this consti-
tutes the wing. The legs are weak, but the arms are greatly devel-
oped, while the chest muscles, lungs and heart are very capacious.
The ribs are flat and placed close together. Bats are nearly helpless
when upon the ground and the most skillful among them at terrestrial
progression can only shuffle along, and they rarely alight upon the
earth voluntarily. Odoriferous glands are found in many species,
exuding a secretion that is very powerful and repelling, and which
acts either as a means of protection against predatory animals, or to
bring sexes together during the rutting season in the dark caves in
which they usually take up their abode. In many species a mem-
brane stretches between the hind limbs enclosing the tail, which
enables the animals to move and turn with great rapidity, this broad,
rudder-like contrivance acting as a lever in their flight. These bats
are insectivorous, and belong to the Family VESPERTILIONID^E, and
with them rapid movements are necessary to enable them to pursue
successfully the flying insects upon which they live. Fruit-eating
bats do not require this arrangement, as their food is stationary.
Bats are divided into two groups, MEGACHIROPTERA and MICROCHI-
ROPTERA, fruit-eating and insect-eating (sometimes blood-sucking)
bats. With the first of these groups this work has nothing to do.
In many bats, foliaceous cutaneous expansions exist about the nos-
trils, these often taking extraordinary shapes, and occasionally with
erect portions of considerable height and width. These are known
as "nose-leaf" bats, and their physiognomy is the most outre" and
bizarre of all the members of this Order. These apparently eccen-
tric and useless structures are, on the contrary, of considerable impor-
tance to their possessors, for they are exceedingly sensitive and act
MM

as a superior organ of touch, notifying their owner by the vibration
of the waves of air, of the approach of any object. Bats are sociable
and gregarious, and frequently many hundreds are found hanging in
clusters from the roof of some cave or other hidden retreat. Unless
it is the rutting season, these will be found to be all of one sex; for
males and females do not keep together as a rule unless during the
breeding period.
Insect-eating bats are divided into numerous families and genera.
Of the former, the VESPERTILIONID^; contains the most species, none
of which possess the nose-leaf. This family is usually divided into
five groups named respectively the PLECOTINE, ANTROZOINE, VES-
PERTILIONINE, MlNIOPTERINE, and THYROPTERINE, the last tWO of
which have no members within the limits of the territory covered by
the present work, as the MINIOPTERINE belong to the eastern Hemi-
sphere and the THYROPTERINE to Brazil and the island of Madagascar.
Fam. I. Yespertilioiiidae. Common Bats.
"Bats with turbinal bones folded; bony palate defective ante-
riorly owing to the absence of palatal processes to the premaxillae;
molars with promiscuous W-shaped cusps; tail included nearly to
tip in large interfemoral membrane; muzzle and nostrils variable,
but former never provided with distinct nose-leaf.' ' (Miller.)
The first subfamily, the VESPERTILIONINE division of the bats,
contains the vast majority of the species known to belong to the
family. They are generally of small size, with inconspicuous ears,
and have simple nostrils entirely without any indication of a nose-
leaf. They are the common bats of the New World.

Fam. IV. \atalidie. Funnel-eared Bats.
"Small; ears separated, shaped like a funnel; interior surface of
conch smooth or papillose without cross striations; muzzle neither
simple nor with leaf-like outgrowths; thumb variable, its phalanges
sometimes rudimentary; metacarpal never wholly free from mem-
brane; third manual digit normally with two phalanges, second
longer than first. Skull: braincase abruptly elevated above face line;
vomer large, generally fused with posterior edge of bony palate, the
anterior extremity always produced as a median spicule appearing at
bottom of anterior palatine emargination. Upper incisors four, each
widely separated from each other and from canine. Lower incisors
six, small; anterior premolars in both jaws large, laterally compressed,
and with well-developed cutting edges; maxillary molars with inner
side of crown narrow, the protocone well developed, but hypocone
rudimentary or absent." (Miller.)

The Bats of the next family gained their trivial name not so much
for any especially bad habits the majority may have possessed, but
on account of the blood-sucking propensities of the Desmodontine
section. Indeed, some of the species are far removed from the ranks
of the Vampires and are insect-eaters, while a large number live on
both insects and fruit. The species of the various genera differ
widely in their appearance, some of them with their large «ars and
exaggerated cutaneous appendages presenting very extraordinary
visages. The color of their fur is dull in hue, and some species are
marked with white streaks. The blood-sucking members are modified
in body and teeth to adapt them more perfectly for their nefarious
practices. The Vampire group in this volume ends with the genus
Hemiderma.

The members of the genus OTOPTERUS are among the large species
of the moderate sized bats, and are conspicuous for their huge ears.
They are not over-particular as to their diet, and eat insects, fruits,
and small bats when they can get them. They can rise into the air
from a horizontal surface, a feat quite impossible to many species
of other genera, and if they take up their abode in a house, it is said
they always select the cellar, never the roof.

have been proved false, as the animal is now known to subsist mainly
on fruits, and is harmless.

Genl. Char. Similar to those of the genus.
Color. Above dark reddish brown, base of hairs whitish, tips
ashy; beneath, paler brown to base of hairs, tips ashy.

PHYLLOSTOMA next to Vampyrus contains the largest species in
the family, and the males possess a well developed glandular sac on
the throat opening in front of sternum. This is only rudimentary in
the females. These animals live in hollow trees or between large
leaves of plants, and resort to forest-clad districts. Like some of the
large insectivorous bats, the species of this genus may possibly feed
on smaller bats, which fact may have given them the reputation,
long borne by P. hastatum, of being sanguineous.

GLOSSOPHAGA, with various other genera ending with CHOSRONYC-
TERIS, compose the group GLOSSOPHAGA, the members of which are
distinguished by the long, slender tongue covered with papillae, and
by the deep groove in the under lip. They feed on fruit, berries, and
insects, and they vary so much from each other in the shape and
number of teeth and other characters, that there are almost as many
genera as species. Some are widely distributed and very abundant,
while others are local and comparatively rare.

The Marmosets are the smallest members of the tribe of Monkeys,
and comprise the lowest group of the suborder. They are confined
to the New World, and in size are not larger than many species of
squirrels, are arboreal in habits, associate in small companies and
live on fruits and insects. They are covered with rather long, thick
and soft fur and the color varies greatly. The ears of some are
decorated with long fringes, others have large whiskers, and others
heavy manes. The digits have claws instead of nails on all except
the hallux, or great toe, which possesses a nail. As many as three
young are often brought forth, thus greatly exceeding the normal
number for the Order. They are not very hardy animals, and easily
succumb if carried into a cold climate.

In the next family are found the typical members. They are
inhabitants of tropical America, in whose vast forest regions they
abound, Brazil probably possessing the largest number of species.
Those of the genus CEBUS, known as the Sapajous or Capuchins, are
probably familiar to a greater number of people than any other of
the monkey tribe, and are more often seen in captivity. They are
among the most intelligent of the New World Monkeys, are playful,
mischievous in the highest degree, and tricky. They go in troupes,
following each other in single file through the forest trees, steadying
themselves amid the branches by hands and tail, taking a firm hold
of any object with the latter by means of the prehensile end.

The Howling Monkeys, as the species of the next genus are called,
are remarkable, as may be supposed from their names, for their
extremely powerful voices, which cause the forest to resound with
their cries in the mornings and evenings. They are heavy in form,
with strong prehensile tails, sullen in disposition, and practically
untamable. They keep in the tops of the highest trees, and feed on

leaves and fruits. They vary wonderfully in color, both among
individuals and between the sexes, while some of the races, separated
on the hues of the fur, or difference in size, have a precarious and
unsatisfactory scientific standing. In intelligence these monkeys have
a very low rank. The species associate in small groups, and the
habits do not apparently vary among the recognized forms. They
range from Central America to southern South America.

ATELES.
The Spider Monkeys are remarkable for the length of their limbs,
which causes them to be extremely awkward on the ground, and it
is questionable, if in the wild state they often leave the trees upon
which they live. The tail is prehensile and is a most valuable adjunct
in their movements, serving as an extra hand, for it grasps as firmly
as that member can any object within reach. Being long and very
flexible, it is often employed to bring branches within reach of the
hands, and it can easily sustain the entire weight of the animal.
There is quite a number of species, very variable in coloring, distrib-
uted from eastern Mexico to southern South America.
