 powers of generation will prompt them to 

 own and indicate their relation. This, I

 difproportion, or diflimilitude, can hinder 

 any one of that name from courting, fol- 

 lowing, or accepting the other, nor their 

 mongrel offspring from enjoying the com- 

 mon nature and faculties of the fpecies. 



But, admitting the diftlndlions of Hounds, 

 Beagles, &c. as they commonly ftand, I 

 have been alfo confulted what particular 

 forts I would recommend for each particular 

 Game in this illand, For the Deer, the 

 Fox, the Otter, &c. every Sportfman knows 

 the breed that is moil proper j but as each 

 o^ them, with a little application, will joy- 

 fully follow the fweet fcented Hare, the 

 query is, what kind is preferable for that 

 delightful e:?cerci.ie ? 



The moil fatisfadory reply to every Hunter 

 is, that his own kind is bed i but fuch as 

 are fetting up a new cry, I would advlfe to 

 begin to breed on the mlddle-fize Dogs.,
