Nature which created them provided them with instinct, which certainly they stand much in need of, and no doubt this guides them as to their protection during the severest weather. I have often wondered how it is that the walrus, bear, and seal, are not often overtaken, when in open water, by such a severe frost as to entirely freeze them in when the ice forms suddenly and may last for months, or even years ; no doubt their instinct directs them to places of safety under any circumstances, but ...in what manner, who can tell? The foxes in the Arctic regions have the soles of their feet hairy K 42 like our rabbits and hares have, probably to repel the great cold. The ptarmigans Mr. Abel Chapman shot in Spitzbergen, which he kindly asked me to see (though I had no others to compare them with), appeared to be furnished with very much stronger beaks than the common species, and I think their feet were much stronger, probably to enable them to scratch away the frozen snow to get at their scanty fare, and their stronger beaks would enable them to get this from the icy rocks on which it grows ; the two skins he had were those of cocks, and they certainly appeared larger altogether than the ordinary ptarmigan, and had very large tail feathers ; they were in their grey or summer plumage.
