which I have gained many hints as to where to 

 look for material ; C. A. Collins's entertaining 

 Cruise upon Wheels; and the pathetic account 

 of the life and death of poor Mathieu in M. 

 Zola's La Joie de Vivre ; Dr. John Brown's Rab 

 and Iris Friends {Horcc Subseciva), an exquisite 

 bit of work ; Mrs. Ewing's Benjy in Beastlandj 

 and two wonderful studies of dogs by Mr. Alfred 

 Olivant — Otud Bob, and Danny. 



The frontispiece is reproduced by kind per- 

 mission of Mr. Walter Jefferies, the breeder of 

 Rodney Stone. 



A few blank pages are placed at the end of the 

 volume which the reader can dedicate to the 

 memory of his own canine friends.
