WOLVERINE  .—SiZe 16X18 in . Is native to

America, Siberia, Russia and Scandinavia and generally partakes of the nature of a bear . The underwool is full and thick with strong and bright top hair about 22 in. long . The colour is of two or three shades of brown in one skin, the centre being an oval dark saddle, edged as it were with quite a pale tone and merging to a darker one towards the flanks . This peculiar character alone stamps it as a distinguished fur, in addition to which it has the excellent advantage of being the most durable fur for carriage aprons, as well as the richest in colour . It is not prolific, added to which it is very difficult to match a number of skins in quality as well as colour . Hence it is an expensive fur, but its excellent qualities make it valuable . The darkest of the least coarse skins are worth the most . Prices from 6s. to 37s .
