'T^Here are in 'England and Scotland two kindes oi 

 i Hunting -Dogs, and no where elfe in ail the 

 World : The firft kind is called Am Kache, and this is 

 a Foot-fcenting creature both of wild Bealls, Birds, 

 and Fifties alfo, which lie hid among the Rocks : the 

 Female hereof in England ii called a Brachc. A Brach , 

 is a mannerly name for all Hound - Birches. The fe- 

 condin Scotland is called z Sluth-hnund, being a lit- 

 tle greater than the Hunting-Hound, and in colour 

 for the moft part brown or (andy fpotted. The fenfe

 Foot-aeps of Thieves, and purfue them with violence 

 until they overtake them : nay, Ihould the Thief take the 

 Water, fo eager they are in their purfuit, that they wiJI 

 fwim after them ; and are reftlefs till they find the 

 thing they feek after : For this is common in the Border"?
