There is a grizzled patch of mixed hoary and chestnut hairs passingfrom the central line of the forehead above the eyes, along the temples, and alittle obliquely to the ears. There is a tuft of white hairs on each side of theneck and another between the legs. The wolverine is identical with the gluttonof Europe. It is known sometimes in the United States as the Carcajou. Thisanimal has the credit of being very cunning and very ferocious. It is said to liein waiting on the limb of a tree overhanging a runway and when the unsus-pecting deer passes under, manages to drop upon its back, and generally succeedsin bringing it to earth. It is hated by hunters and trappers for its propensity to follow their linesof traps and devour either the bait, or captured animals. Thfi wolverine is exceedingly scarce, if found at all in southern Ontario, butprobably exists in its northern townships.
