HISTORY OF OUADRUPEDS. 



THE LARGE ROUGH WATER DOG. 



(Cains Aviarit^s Aquaticus, Linn. Lc Grand 

 Barbet, Buff. 



Is web-footed, swims with great ease, and is used 

 in hunting Ducks and other aquatic birds. From 

 its aptness to fetch and carry, it is frequently kept 

 on board of ships, for the purpose of recovering 

 any thing that has fallen overboard; and is like- 

 wise useful in taking up birds that are shot, and 

 drop into the sea. 



There is a variety much smaller. They are both 

 remarkable for their long and shaggy coat, which 

 frequently incommodes them by growing over their 

 eyes.
