348. _Is the Badger Amphibious?_--Turner (_Sacred History of the World_,
Letter XV. vol. i. p. 428. 4th edit. 1833) says:
"The beaver, otter, and _badger_ are _amphibious_ creatures, but
not oviparous."
Surely this is a mistake, and worthy of a Note? I cannot find the badger
mentioned as an _amphibious_ animal in any modern zoology. I certainly
have not by me Kerr's _Linnaeus_ to refer to, as a verification of Sharon
Turner's note on this passage.
