1834, Augustus Addison Gould, editor, A System of Natural History, page 253:
The urson might be called the spiny beaver, it being of the same size, the same country, and the same form of body;[…]. In the young ursons, the prickles are proportionably larger, more apparent, and the hair shorter and scarcer than in the adults.
