fro?n Xenophon, ^W 



]ftiind, on which' account flie often runs un- 

 knowingly again ft many things, and fome- 

 times falls into the nets. 



If fhe ran ftraigh't forward thefe things 

 would feldom happen to her ; but running 

 a ring, and loving the places where fhe was 

 bred and has fed, fhe is taken ; for Hares, 

 when followed by the foot, are not often 

 taught by the fpeed of the dogs, but they 

 are taken, contrary to the nature of the 

 animal, by accident ; for no animal of the 

 fame iize equals the Hare for fwiftnefs, her 

 f)bdy being conftrudled in this manner : 



The head is light, fmall, inclining down- 

 Wards, and narrow in front. The neck 

 lender, round, no! rigid, and of a conve- 

 nient length. The fhoulder-blades upright., 

 and not joined at top, and the legs, which 

 are under them, light and compad:. The 

 breaft not too deeply extended. The ribs 

 Kght and well proportioned. The loin's 

 Found, holk)w, and flefhy. The flanks 

 firpple, and fufficiently k)ofe. The hips 

 found, entirely full, and divided properly at 

 top. The thighs long and compadl,- ex- 

 tended on the outfidc, but the infide not 



turgid*
