s, 'Fauna Hungariae Superioris,' 1862, s. 13. _See_ Pliny, 'Hist. of 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. [25] For numerous and interesting details on the resemblance of dogs and jackals, _see_ Isid. Geoffroy St. Hilaire, 'Hist. Nat. Gen.,' 1860, tom. iii. p. 101. _See_ also 'Hist. Nat. des Mammiferes,' par Prof. Gervais, 1855, tom. ii. p. 60. [26] Gueldenstaedt, 'Nov. Comment. Acad. Petrop.,' tom. xx., pro anno 1775, p. 449. [27] Quoted by De Blainville in his 'Osteographie, Canidae,' pp. 79, 98. [28] _See_ Pallas, in 'Act. Acad. St. Petersburgh,' 1780, part ii. p. 91. For Algeria, _see_ Isid. Geoffroy St. Hilaire, 'Hist. Nat. Gen.,' tom. iii. p. 177. In both countries it is the male jackal which pairs with female domestic dogs. [29] John Barbut's 'Description of the Coast of Guinea in 1746.' [30] 'Travels in South Africa,' vol. ii. p. 272. [31] Selwyn, Geology of Victoria; 'Journal of Geolog. Soc.,' vol. xiv., 1858, p. 536, and vol. xvi., 1860, p. 148; and Prof M^cCoy, in 'Annals and Mag. of Nat. Hist.' (3rd series), vol. ix., 1862, p. 147. The Dingo differs 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. [32] 'Proceedings Zoolog. Soc.,' 1833, p. 112. _See_, also, on the taming of the common wolf, L. Lloyd, 'Scandinavian Adventures,' vol. i. p. 460, 1854. With respect to the jackal, _see_ Prof. Gervais, 'Hist. Nat. Mamm.,' tom. ii. p. 61. With respect to the aguara of Paraguay, _see_ Rengger's work. [33] Roulin, in 'Mem. present. par divers Savans,' tom. vi. p. 341. [34] Martin, 'History of the Dog,' p. 14. [35] Quoted by L. Lloyd in 'Field Sports of North of Europe,' vol. i. p. 387.
