 | | Very distinct is the brilliantly colored orange-and-fl Indian marten (M. flavigula), found from the Himalaya and Ceylon to Java. |
 | | Its home is sometimes a den under ground or beneath rocks, but oftener the hollow of a tree, and it is said to take possession of a squirrels nest, driving off or devouring the rightful proprietor. |
 | | The pekan or Pennants marten, also called fisher marten, though there appears to be nothing in its habits to justify the appellation, is the largest of the group, the head and body measuring from 24 to 30 in., and the tail 14 to 18 in. |
