lainville's 'Osteographie,' p. 79. It has been carried to an extreme
extent by Col. Hamilton Smith in the 'Naturalist Library,' vol. ix. and x.
Mr. W. C. Martin adopts it in his excellent 'History of the Dog,' 1845; as
does Dr. Morton, as well as Nott and Gliddon, in the United States. Prof.
Low, in his 'Domesticated Animals,' 1845, p. 666, comes to this same
conclusion. No one has argued on this side with more clearness and force
than the late James Wilson, of Edinburgh, in various papers read before the
Highland Agricultural and Wernerian Societies. Isidore Geoffroy Saint
Hilaire ('Hist. Nat. Gen.,' 1860, tom. iii. p. 107), though he believes
that most dogs have descended from the jackal, yet inclines to the belief
that some are descended from the wolf. Prof. Gervais ('Hist. Nat. Mamm.,'
1855, tom. ii. p. 69), referring to the view that all the domestic races
are the modified descendants of a single species, after a long discussion,
says, "Cette opinion est, suivant nous du moins, la moins probable."

1863. 'Der Hund,' von Dr. F. L. Walther, s. 48, Giessen, 1817: this author
seems carefully to have studied all classical works on the subject. _See_
also 'Volz, Beitraege zur Kultur-geschichte,' Leipzig, 1852, s. 115. 'Youatt
on the Dog,' 1845, p. 6. A very full history is given by De Blainville in
his 'Osteographie, Canidae.'

[8] I have seen drawings of this dog from the tomb of the son of Esar
Haddon, and clay models in the British Museum. Nott and Gliddon, in their
'Types of Mankind,' 1854, p. 393, give a copy of these drawings. This dog
has been called a Thibetan mastiff, but Mr. H. A. Oldfield, who is familiar
with the so-called Thibet mastiff, and has examined the drawings in the
British Museum, informs me that he considers them different.

[11] Berjeau gives fac-similes of the Egyptian drawings. Mr. C. L. Martin,
in his 'History of the Dog,' 1845, copies several figures from the Egyptian
monuments, and speaks with much confidence with respect to their identity
with still living dogs. Messrs. Nott and Gliddon ('Types of Mankind,' 1854,
p. 388) give still more numerous figures. Mr. Gliddon asserts that a
curl-tailed greyhound, like that represented on the most ancient monuments,
is common in Borneo; but the Rajah, Sir J. Brooke, informs me that no such
dog exist
