I08 NATURAL HISTORY ESSAYS 



7, 8, 9. Living animals photographed in the 

 Dublin Zoological Gardens, by Prof. Alfred Scott. 

 The adult pair appear to be pretty equally marked 

 in black and yellow, with some white about the 

 throat. The ruff in both is almost entirely black. 

 The young animal seems a pale edition of its parents. 

 All three have facial stripe. Mozambique race ? 



10. Specimen now living in the New York Zoo- 

 logical Park. Black chiefly confined to under parts, 

 and a good deal of white on front of forelegs (reverse 

 of No. 6). Forefeet below wrists and hind feet 

 below hocks encased in a piebald mitten. Toes black, 

 Burchell's line well marked. Probably of the Somali 

 race. 



Others might be quoted, but the above list will 

 suffice, as analysis of the foregoing will well indicate 

 the great instability of the hysena dog. Small wonder 

 that Sir Andrew Smith supposed that two distinct 

 species of Lycaon inhabited South Africa !
