CRAY SQUIRRELS

introduction of American Variety

Some Difficulty.

Out Red Squirrels-PoPu-
lar in Parks.

London. American gray squirrels,
which have been introduced into Eng
land, are causing some difficulties, ac-
cording to the Times, WHICH remarks
il an editorial:
1.-THE introduction of North Ameri-
can gray squirrels into this country has
had an unexpected success, which, If
we may judge from many letters SEM
to us, has not gained universal ap-
prevail. English visitors to Central
park, New York, have often been de-
lighted by the bold and confiding hab-
its of these little rodents, which seem
never 10 have acquired the red squir-
rel's distrust of man. Doubtless there
have been several attempts to acclima-
tie them in this country, but their
definite establishment is recent.
Introduced Into Park.
"Some dozen years ago the Zoolog-
ical Society of London obtained a num-
Der of individuals from u private col
lection ii. 2-edfordshire, for the purpose
of inducing them to breed at liberty In
the gardens in Regents park. They
were first given the relative freedom OF
q large. %open-air Enclosure, from which,
when they had become accustomed 10
receive tribute from visitors, they were
allowed to pass in and out by a rope
bridge to a tree. 1t was anticipated
and indeed hoped, that they would
spread from the gardens to the park.
The office Of works took a enevolen
interest in the experiment and re-
strained visitors from taking dogs, ex-
cept on lead. through the main avenue.
after two or three years, in which
they seemed to be disappearing, they
suddenly became ubiquitous, forming a
charming addition to the sparrows n
wood pigeons, hitherto the only crea-
lures attracting popular attention. The
gray squirrels are plainly happy and
equally plainly give happiness to the
London population-two weighty rea-
sons for their presence in the London
parks. But it is alleged against them
that they destroy the nests Ct warPlers!,
d railing accusation easier to bring
than to justify. In fact, there Is room
for both; possibly q few nests have
been destroyed, but the squirrels fire.
quent the regions of the parks where
dispensers Of nuts most abound, where
as the shy singing birds covet the nor
secluded thickets. Careful observers
of birds are inclining to the opinion
that the avian population is improving
in numbers and in variety, and that 1t
might improve still more were some
small and suitable sanctuaries to be In
closed.

Spread to Country.

"On the other hand, the gray squir-
rels, whether by taking advantage Of
tubes and buses OF by deliberate hui
man connivance, have spread from
London and are invading the country
over very wide areas. They are said
to drive out the red squirrel, to raid
gardens, and to add to the anXieties
of the pheasant breeder. we hope
that fuller inquiry will not sustain
these charges. On general grounds we
doubt if Il creature with so marked a
preference for living as q sturdy beg
a will settle down to the hardships
of a predatory and hunted life. The
biological problems following on the,
Introduction of an animal to a new
country are interesting, and we admit
fully that there has often been no
middle way between complete failure
and disastrous success"
