THE HOUND (OTTERHOUND). 



Origin. — Nothing positive is known about it, but probably a 

 cross of Welsh harrier, '* Southern hound," and a terrier, though 

 some say it is of bloodhound extraction. The breed is very old. 



Uses. — For hunting the otter and other water-animals.

General Appearance. — Always excepting coat, it much re-

 •natural antipathy to the game it is bred to pursue.
