the World' (Eng. transl.), 8th book, ch. xl., about the Gauls crossing
their dogs. _See_ also 'Hist. Animal.' lib. viii. c. 28. For good evidence
about wolves and dogs naturally crossing near the Pyrenees, _see_ M.
Mauduyt, 'Du Loup et de ses Races,' Poitiers, 1851; also Pallas, in 'Acta
Acad. St. Petersburgh,' 1780, part ii. p. 94.
[24] I give this on excellent authority, namely, Mr. Blyth (under the
signature of Zoophilus), in the 'Indian Sporting Review,' Oct. 1856, p.
134. Mr. Blyth states that he was struck with the resemblance between a
brush-tailed race of pariah-dogs, north-west of Cawnpore, and the Indian
wolf. He gives corroborative evidence with respect to the dogs of the
valley of the Nerbudda.

domestic dogs.

from the dogs of the central Polynesian islands. Dieffenbach remarks
('Travels,' vol. ii. p. 45) that the native New Zealand dog also differs
from the Dingo.
