Notes
Content: Printed on border: "This genus includes weasels, with the ermine or stoat, as well as the polecat or fitchet, and the ferret; all small, but distinguished for their long, flexible bodies, and their destructive habits, surpassing even the cats in their instinct for killing other animals. All are noted for a secretion in an anal pouch, which, when they are irritated or frightened, diffuses a more or less offensive odor. They trace their prey by scent, take to the water readily, as they have semi-palmated feet, and kill by inflicting a wound in the neck." Includes additional text.
