. The popular natural history . Zoology. THE CANADA LYNX. 49 character, and his wonderful intellectual powers, jfre spoken of, as truly they deserve, with great entliusiasni and respect. But these amiable traits of character are brought into violent contrast with sundry ill-conditioned qualities which are attributed to the Cat, and wrongly so. The Cat is held up to reprobation as a selfish animal, seeking her own comfort and dis- regardful of others ; attached only to localities, and bearing no real affection for her owners. She is said to be sly and treacherous, hiding her talons m her velvety paws as long as she is in a good temper, but ready to use them upon her best friends if she is crossed in her humours. Whatever may have been the experience of those who gave so slanderous a character to the Cat, my own rather wide acquaintance with this animal has led me to very different conclusions. The Cats with which I have been most familiar have been as docile, tractable, and good-tempered as any dog could be, and displayed an amount of intellectual power which would be equalled by very few dog-, and surpassed by none. Returning once more to the saage tribe of animals, we come to a small, but clearly-marked group of Cats, which are distinguishable from their f.-line relations by the sharply-pointed erect ears, decorated with a tuft of hair of varying dimensions. These animals are popularly known by the title of Lynxes. In all the species the tail is rather short, and in some, such as the Peeshoo, or Canada Lynx, it is extremely abbreviated. By name, if not by sight, the common LYNX of Europe is familiar to us, and is known as the type of a quick-sighted animal. The eyes of the Lynx and the ears of the " Blind Mole " are generally placed on a par with each other, as examples of especial acuteness of either sense. The European Lynx is spread over a great portion of the Continent, being found in a range of country which extends from the Pyrenees to Scandinavia.
