SKUNK

This article appears in Volume V11, Page 353 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SIV-SOU
SKUNK Or BLACK MARTEN.Size 15X8 in. The underwool is full and fairly close with, glossy, flowing top
hair
  about 21 in. long. The
majority
  have two stripes of white
hair
 , extending the whole length of the skin, but these are cut out by the manufacturing furrier and sold to the dealers in pieces for exportation. The animals are found widely spread throughout' North and South America. The skins which are of the greatest
interest
  to the European trade are those from North America, the South American species being small, coarse and generally brown. The best skins come from
Ohio
  and New
York
 . If it were not for its disagreeable odour, skunk would be worth much more than the usual market value, as it is naturally the blackest fur, silky in
appearance
  and most durable. The improved dressing processes have to a large extent removed the naturally pungent scent. The fur is excellent for stoles, boas, collars, cuffs, muffs and trimmings. Value Is. 6d. to us.
SousLIK.Size 7 in.X21. Is a small rodent found in the south of Russia and also in parts of America. It has very short hair and is a poor fur even for the cheapest linings, which is the only use to which the skin could be put. It is known as kaluga when imported in ready-made linings from Russia where the skins are dressed and worked in an inferior way. Value Id. to 3d.
