Note 108 — PETER KALM’s TRAVELS. (continued 3)
Johann Reinhold Forster translation
In the northern parts of America there are chiefly the following skins of animals: beavers, elks108, rein-deer109, wolf-lynxes110, and martens. They sometimes get martens skins from the south, but they are red, and good for little. Pichou du Nord is perhaps the animal which the English, near Hudson’s bay, call the wolverene. To the northern furs belong the bears, which are but few, and foxes, which are not very numerous, and generally black; and several other skins.
