abstract = {To test a recently developed predator-prey model against reality, I chose the well-known Canadian hare-lynx system. A measure of the state of this system for the last 200-odd years is available in the fur catch records of the Hudson Bay Company (MacLulich 1937; Elton and Nicholson 1942). Although the accuracy of these data is questionable (see Elton and Nicholson for a full discussion), they represent the only long-term population record available to ecologists.
The model I tested is
\[ \begin{\{}align{\}}
dH/dt {\&}= H(r{\_}H + C{\_}{\{}HL{\}} L + S{\_}H H + I{\_}H H^2), \
dL/dt {\&}= L(R{\_}L + C{\_}{\{}LH{\}} H + S{\_}L L + I{\_}L L^2),
\end{\{}align{\}} \]
