in some of the papers reference was waa made to a new species of rat with the bodies clothed with remarkably long thick fur with fill even the balls trills covered with a 0 thick growth of hair tile tho rats had adapted themselves to a low temperature and the cats ficro are tho the result of breeding from artificial selection in order to obtain a cat to prey on the new rat according to the story

thick furred c cats ate with ned tails and feelers lue live or sl inches in length this latter character waa avan sold said tob be probably due to their environment since they must necessarily lIr
