WEASEL ATTACKING A BROWN RAT. During the present century the Brown Rat has greatly Increased in numbers in Europe, largely taking the place of the smaller black member of his tribe. This vicious rodent has a most determined enemy in the Weasel, which, although inferior to this Rat in size, pursues it relentlessly and with almost uniform success. The picture shows the Weasel attacking one of these destructive rodents, and illustrates its method of seizing its victim by the neck. This small Beast of Prey is slender and handsomely proportioned, has a smooth fur, and is an agile and audacious- little animal. (Putorius vulgaris.) (i6i)
