It is a kind of arched apartment, from a foot to a foot and half or two feet in diameter at the bottom, having the sides and roof well and firmly compacted. The nest is made of leaves and grass. It is sometimes so large that the materials would fill a gallon measure, and occasionally so small that they scarcely cover the ground. The hillock, un- der which this nest is deposited, is easily distin- guishable, by its being generally five or six times as large as any of the rest. Connected with the... apartment in which the young Moles are laid, there are generally several galleries, that extend to the distance of some feet, like rays from a centre. Into these the mother makes her excursions for food, to supply herself and her offspring. And it is said that the instant she hears her habitation attacked by the mole-catcher from above, she takes to one of the burrows; and if the litter have attained suffi- cient strength to walk, the dam and her brood ge- nerally make good their retreat. The young, which are usually from three to five in number, are perfectly naked when first produced ; an$ at that time they are said to have much the appearance of young THE COMMON MOLE.
