The Newfoundland. 267 



With the conflicting evidence before us, I am not prepared to endorse 

 the statement that the white and black colour never occurs in the 

 true Newfoundland, but this question has been practically settled in the 

 best possible way by making a distinct class for the picturesque black 

 and white under the name of Landseer Newfoundland. 



Mr. Howard Mapplebeck's Leo, now Mr. S. W. Wildman's, is a fine 

 model of the breed ; he is of great size, most symmetrical in build, with 

 an elegant carriage ; has a fine broad intellectual looking head, and the 

 dignified appearance so remarkable in all good specimens of the breed ; 

 and is without doubt the finest living specimen that has been exhibited, 

 and this is high praise when we consider the number of good ones our 

 shows have brought out.
