_Names of mammals and birds._--The Grizzly Bear had two names: M[)e]-ch[=a]-e-sahn and Me-kwo ah. The Mountain Lion or Cougar is called Min´-ning m[)i]^{ch} 'hl[=a]-til-loo, meaning "kills with his face." They speak of a spotted Panther of large size called Kit-sah´, which has not been seen for a number of years. It used to make a great noise. They speak also of a Water Panther (mythical) called Ho-tsi´-tow, said to live in holes close to the water of lakes and pools, never in rivers or on land. Its head and shoulders were heavy and covered with long shaggy hair, but the hinder parts were nearly naked. The Otter is called 'Kl[=o]k-e-te-til-le, meaning "he likes salmon." The Weasel--and this is particularly interesting--is called Klew^{ch}-m[)u]-hung, meaning "snake's husband"--a term doubtless suggested by its snake-like form and actions. The Mole is called Min-ni´ [)e]-ting, meaning "eyeless"; the Bat Haht-la nah-mut, "night flyer." The Porcupine is 'K'yo. Its quills, usually dyed yellow, were used to ornament basket hats; and also to pierce the ears for earrings. When a quill was stuck lightly into the lobe of the ear, it would slowly work its way through. The common gray Ground Squirrel (_Citellus beecheyi_) is called Ts[)e] 'ket-yahng-a, meaning "rock sitting on." The Jack Rabbit, oddly enough, is called Nah^{ch}-ah-tah 'hits-'hlah-hahn, meaning "dry ground deer." _A Hupa ceremonial gray fox skin._--The skin was _cased_ (opened along the hind legs, the belly not slit lengthwise). The front feet had been cut off but the skin of each leg was slit in six or seven strands or narrow ribbons about three inches long. The skin had been turned inside out and decorated in places; then turned and left with fur outside. The skin of the hind legs was painted deep red. The tail also had been slit open on the underside and the skin painted with the same red paint, and a tuft of pure white feathers four inches long was sewed to its tip. The most surprising marking was a double ring or belt band of red and blue painted around the inside of the skin about two inches above the base of the tail (and therefore hidden when the skin was fur-side out). The two bands, each about half an inch wide, were in actual contact all the way around--the anterior one deep red, the posterior deep blue. The skin itself is of interest as being unmistakably the dark northwest form of the species _Urocyon cinereoargenteus_. The upper parts are very dark grizzled; the dorsal stripe from neck to tip of tail is almost pure black and the tail is about an inch broad. The flanks, inner-sides of legs, and undersides of tail are fulvous, palest on the belly. The specimen is an adult male.
