He is a fastidious eater, preferring small parcels of meat and fish and particularly fond of birds. As a rule the bear dog mates but once a year, having one to four in a litter. I have found from experience that it is in- advisable to molest the mother in any way when the offspring are still quite small. Like the fox they are subject to kill their young. In the last four I have years combed every Tahl-Tan Indian en- campment in the Cassiar—from the “Etzerza”’ Stikine to Liard—-from Nahlin to Cariboo-Hide.
