. Camps in the Rockies [microform] : being a narrative of life on the frontier, and sport in the Rocky Mountains, with an account of the cattle ranches of the West. Camping; Hunting; Camping; Chasse. 230 Camps in the Rockies. mm. dykes. With very few animals is it apparently so difficult to draw the line between instinct and intelligence, or rather between instinctive intelligence and reflective intelligence, as in the beaver's case ? Intelligence is, as we know, deliberative, cond'tional, modifiable, and is the result of observation and preceding expenVnce. The story of Mr. Brodf^rip's pet beaver who manifested his building instincts by dragging together warming pans, sweeping- brushes, boots, and sticks, and piling them together crosswise, is, as we have authentic facts before us, a typical instance of this difficulty. The use of the beaver's tail as a trowel for plastering down their mud constructions has been frequently doubted, and the very isolated instances in which I found the marks of the scale-covered tail on dams or houses can hardly prove the contrary. More frequently have I found " prints " of the tail on the slimy, mud-covered slides, for when in repose the tail lies flat on the ground. When at work gnawing down trees, the beaver seems to prop himself on his tail, though not to the extent pictures drawn by inventive pencils would pretend. If you surprise a beaver in deep water, he will commonly duck under, with a loud slap of his broad tail on the water. Indians and half-breeds believe this to be a well understood sign to alarm their comrades; but from the build of the animal, and the fact that he only makes this noise when in deep water, I am inclined to believe that it is a move- ment tending to expedite his disappearance. Another very popular myth endows the beaver's tail with a further use, namely, as a medium for carrying sand and mud.
