The alpine marmots supply examples of these curious manners.. Fig. 8.—Alpm6 Marmot. These animals usually establish their dwellings upon the face of steep acclivities, which look to the south or the east; they assemble in large numbers for the excavation of these dwellings by their common labour. The form of their dens is that of the letter Y placed on its side, thus H, the tail being horizontal, and one of the two branches being inclined upwards, and the other downwards. The cavity, which forms the tail of the Y, is the dwelling-room. It is carpeted with moss and hay, of which the animal makes an ample provision in summer. The upward branch leads to the door of the dwelling, and supplies the means of exit and entrance to the inhabitants. The descending branch is used for the discharge of ordure, and aU other oifal, the removal of which is necessary to the cleanliness of the house. 30. Buffon says, that in the construction of these dwellings, - the animals observe a curious division of labour: some cut the grass, others collect it in heaps, and others, lying on their backs with their legs upwards, convert themselves into a sort of sledge, upon which the grass is heaped by the others, being kept together by the upright legs of the prostrate animal, just as hay is retained upon a farm-cart by the poles fixed at its corners. The animal lying thus is dragged by the tail by the others, to the mouth of the dwelling in which the grass is deposited, 125. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned
