The annual numbers of lynx trappings for 1821–1934 in Canada. This
time-series records the number of skins of
predators (lynx) that were collected over several years by the Hudson’s
Bay Company. The dataset was
taken from Brockwell & Davis (1991) and appears to be the series
considered by Campbell & Walker (1977).
