PEESHOO, OR CANADIAN LYNX. This animal is somewhat smaller and is neither so active nor so fero- cious as the European species. It is regarded as a Ian' animal, liking its ease, and is appropriately presented by the artist in an attitude of repose. Its ears are not quite so long, but its ear-tufts are longer than those of the Common Lynx. (Lynx borcalis.)
