Wild Dog of the Western Ghauts. 411 
A friend of mine, Major Pew, killed two of these dogs in the Rajama- 
hendri district, and from him I have obtained the following description of 
them, which I think nearly accords with that furnished to the Society 
by Colonel Syxes. 
Colour—Reddish brown. 
Hair—Rather longer than that of the common Pariah dog. 
Tail—Bushy, more resembling that of a shakal than a dog. 
Ears—More rounded than those of dogs usually are, and more resem- 
bling those of the feline race. 
Feet—Particularly round. 
These animals scarcely stood so high as a shakal, but were much stouter 
and heavier in all respects.
