The weight of a dog may be from 1 7olb. to 2oolb. 

 or more ; of a bitch from i5olb. to iSolb. 



That there is no fear of the St. Bernard dog 

 becoming extinct, as at one time appeared to be 

 not unlikely, may be inferred from the fact that Mr. 

 Hughes-Hughes has just published a volume con- 

 taining the pedigrees of nearly six thousand St. 

 Bernards. The names of many of them are not to 

 be found in the Kennel Club's publications, Mr. 

 Hughes -Hughes obtaining particulars of such 

 during his visits to Switzerland. A troublesome 

 work carefully compiled.
