NnaNSDO’ . casemate 
case was reported to me by Mr. 
Frederic Hood of Watertown, Mass., 
owner of the Boxwood Kennels. Mr. 
Hood has been most kind in placing 
the particulars of the case, as well as 
two of the puppies themselves, at my 
disposal. The interest which he has 
shown might well be taken as a model 
by all breeders and fanciers, who by 
adopting a similar attitude might do 
much to increase opportunities for 
cooperation with scientific institutions. 
The history of this case is briefly as 
follows: A pedigreed and registered 
bitch (No. 182), an excellent specimen 
of the breed, was bred to a typical 
dog (No. 216), pedigreed, registered, 
and a bench show-winner. In due 
time a litter of seven pups, one male 
and six females, was obtained. Of these 
two, the male and one female, were 
heavily spotted with white. They were, 
according to Mr. Hood’s manager, very 
similar to, though of course not identical 
with, the two spotted pups figured in 
Fig. 3, Nos. 1 and 2. The five re- 
maining pups were all normal, and 
included among their number one which 
has developed into one of the best 
American bred Airedale bitches now 
being shown. This bitch (No. 228) 
q 
(Ayrshire Beauty 
was bred to a different dog (No. 294) 
and produced a litter of six puppies, 
three males and three females, all dead. 
Two of them, both males, were kindly 
sent to me in preservative by Mr. 
Hood and are figured in Fig. 3, Nos. 
1 and 2. In conformation and ground 
color they are typical Airedales, but in 
size No. 1 is larger and No. 2 a bit 
smaller than is the average Airedale 
pup at birth. The other four pups in 
the litter were entirely typical in color 
and conformation and were born before 
the spotted pups which were the last 
two in the litter. One of the typical 
pups had, however, a cowl of his own 
skin which stretched bag-like over his 
shoulders and head. The head and 
neck were far from being properly 
developed. This puppy I did not see, 
but the description is taken from the 
personal observation of Mr. E. War- 
burton, the manager of the Boxwood 
Kennels, whose accuracy of description 
need not be doubted. 
The pedigrees of the two litters con- 
taining spotted pups are given herewith. 
It will be noticed that ~ No. 135 occurs 
in both pedigrees and on both sides of 
each pedigre. @No. 140 also occurs 
on both sides of the second pedigree and
