BROWN and See also:BLACK See also:RUSSIAN.—See also:Size 12 X8 in. A very prolific rodent of the amphibious class obtained from See also:Canada and the See also:United States, similar in See also:habit to the See also:English See also:vole, with a fairly thick and even brown underwool and rather strong See also:top dark See also:hair of See also:medium See also:density. It is a very useful See also:fur for men's coat linings and ladies' See also:driving or motoring coats, being warm, durable and not too heavy. If the See also:colour were less See also:motley and the joins between the skins could be made less noticeable, it would be largely in demand for stoles, ties and muffs. As it is, this fur is only used for these smaller articles for the cheaper See also:trade. It has, however, of later years been " unhaired," the underwool clipped very even and then dyed See also:seal colour, in which way very useful and attractive garments are supplied at less than See also:half the cost of the cheaper sealskins. They do not See also:wear as well, however, as the pelt and the See also:wool are not of a strength comparable to those of sealskin. With care, however, such a garment lasts sufficiently See also:long to See also:warrant the See also:present outlay. Value Sad. to Is. 9d.
There is a so-called black variety found in See also:Delaware and New See also:Jersey, but the number is very small compared to the brown See also:species. They are excellent for men's coat linings and the outside of ladies' coats, for stoles, muffs, collars and cuffs. Value sod. to 3s. 7d.
The Russian musquash is very small, 7X4 in., and is limited in See also:numbers compared to the brown. Only a few thousands are imported to See also:London. It is of a very See also:pretty silvery-See also:blue shade of even wool with very little silky top hair, having silvery-See also:- WHITE
