This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1903 Excerpt: ... of Cranborne Chase," records marten-cats as one of the sort of animals hunted there, but believes them (1816) to be nearly extinct, their skins being too valuable for them to be allowed to exist. In 1836 one was caught alive near Stock House by the Rev. H. F. Yeatman's hounds, but, biting the huntman's hounds severely, it was kept alive for some little time. Pine Marten, Martes abietum.
