Barton says that the male aids the female with the young, at least till they are able to leave the den. In autumn, male and female are always found together, but he never saw the whole family together at this time. The young may have scattered, or those observed may have been a barren pair; such are frequent The actual mating season is about the middle or during the last two weeks of February. DB, Their usual denning place is one dug by the Coyotes themselves, in some sunny bank, but they may use an aban- doned Badger hole. The entrance is about 10 by 20 inches and is commonly concealed in the bushes. The actual nest is sometimes lined with a little grass and fur, and sometimes is quite bare. Barton sends the accompanying plan and description of one which he examined near Boissevain, Man. (Fig. 200). Apparently it had been dug by the present owners, and was much the same as the dozen or so others he had invcsti- eated The air-hole, located after close search, was, as usual, an old Gopher hole, enlarged from below and directly over the nest- he supposes it was made to admit fresh air to the cubs.
