The female now also came, and with • i cuouo < '.mvi for the safety of her young, gave a loud scream, dropped the food she had brought, and hofering over the molesting party, kept up a growling and threatening cry by way of intimidation ; and, in fact, as our disappointed naturalist soon discov- ered, she, from this time, forsook the spot, and found means to convey awny her youu:, '. The discoverer con- siders the species as rare ; indeed, its principal residence appears to be in the northern parts of the continent, par- ticularly the rocky solitudes around the great north- western lakes, where it can at all times collect its finny prey, and rear its young without the dread of man.
