THOUGHTS ON HUNTERS 



in combination with freedom of action, as the 

 desiderata of good hock conformation. As 

 concluding thoughts of this chapter, the author 

 wishes to emphasise the importance of culti- 

 vating the powers of observation when looking 

 at a hunter. A collection of facts, thus estab- 

 lished in one's mind, not only constitutes the 

 best medium for making deductions, but acts as 

 a guide for the instruction of others, to emulate 

 which is one of the most valued possessions of 

 mankind. The foregoing remarks are based 

 upon practical knowledge, interlinked with a 

 collection of facts extending over a number of 

 years, and acquired by observation.
