HISTORY OF QUADRUPEDS.

kinds of these Dogs, the one large, and of a red- 

 dish colour; the other less, and browner. They are 

 very bold, and wander about night and day in 

 search of prey. They make a noise somewhat like 

 the cry of our common Hounds, and hunt with 

 great sagacity, acting perfectly in concert with 

 each other till the game falls a prey to the pack. 

 They are said to be always extremely lean, and 

 very ugly. 



M. Buffon mentions an animal of the Jackal kind 

 by the name of the Adive; of which he gives a 

 drawing, somewhat resembling a small Fox. It is 

 less than the common Jackal, and is sometimes 

 tamed, and kept in a domestic state.
