Mounted as an historical curiosity: they are now extinct.
In full bloom they were, I am told, very beautiful. The finest specimens had never shaved, hence the coat was a miracle of gloss, softness, shimmer and silk.
Should anything, anything approaching this shape be observed, kindly write at once to the Association, who are only too anxious to catalogue every rarity.
Disregard cropped hair. One dare not hope for a modern specimen in trailing-coat.

IS A WALRUS.
These cannot be scored when playing Beaver.
A debased form of the game called “Walrus” is—actually—played, and, occasionally, mixed Walrus and Beaver. The Walrus game usually ends in an unseemly wrangle, owing to the intense difficulty in deciding on the exact status of the specimen.
