BEAR KILLING BY SIR JAMES Ross's EXPEDITION.
—On the night of the Bth of August, at Melville Bay,
near Midnight, a bear was seen on a floe. Two whale
boats were sent in pursuit, when he scampered over the
ice and dived, and was for atime lostsight of; he was ulti-
mately killed, having been pierced with a lance, and then
shot through the head. The skin was of P dingy white,
with long shaggy hair. His measurement was as follows:
—Length from nose to tail, 7 feet 6 inches; height of
shoulders. 3 feet 6 inches ; girth behind fore leg, 5 feet
7 inches ; breadth of fore paw, 7 inches ; ditto hind paw,
71 inches ; weight, 6 cwt. The haunches of the beast
