Mr Fred. Cuvier lately noticed five varieties of 

 the Jackal : — ^The Caucasian, the Nubian, the Se- 

 negal, the Algerine, and the Morean. Two of 

 these, we apprehend, we have classed with Thous. 

 The Caucasian may be our T. demon; and the two 

 last are no doubt true Saclalii, But not having 

 been able to see his descriptions we know not if 

 they are introduced here.
