"In a nmber of weasels, the hind. gat was found to be cramied with hard-

packed sand. Tis was not found only in trapped animals, so cannot be 
emplained as having been ingested in the animals' frantic efforts to escape.

A large male nvebora    sis that was shot by a huter late in November 
and presented to me in an unskinned condition, had the rectum and part of
the 
intestine distended with muh said. I am unable to account for this inorganic

matter in a mmber of weasels.*
