In 1654-55 a visitation was conducted at the Grand Beguinage of Mechelen. Dozens of Beguines were interviewed. The biggest complaint: too many (boarding and day school) children at the Beguinage! They made noise and filled up the church so that some Beguines couldn't attend services.

Squirrels found in ‘The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America,’ originally issued in 30 parts from 1845-1848. The illustrations were drawn from nature by John James Audubon and his son John Woodhouse Audubon. The plates were printed and colored by J. T. Bowen of Philadelphia.
