THE BOOK OF THE DOG. 



As Mr. Taunton has gone so thoroughly into the points and characteristics of the 

 Esquimaux dog, we do not propose attempting to add anything to his description beyond an 

 allusion to his grand specimen, Sir John Franklin, who is represented in the illustration which 

 accompanies this article. He has been exhibited fifteen times, winning silver medal Alexandra 

 Palace; first Cirencester and Farnworth ; second Bristol and Brighton, 1879; silver medal 

 Crystal Palace ; first Waterloo, Margate, Dundee, and Birmingham, and second Manningtree, 

 1880; silver medal Alexandra Palace, and second Edinburgh, 1881. 



In addition to Sir John Franklin, there are some other very good specimens of the 

 Esquimaux dog in England, notably a couple imported by some members of the crew of 

 the Pandora, exploring ship, and presented by them to the Zoological Gardens, Regent's Park, 

 London.
