DOGS.

The Fox- Hound. 



THE Fox-HouND. The head is smaller in pro- 

 portion to his body, than that of the stag-hound, 

 although it has a larger muzzle: the ears also are 

 large and pendulous, but not so much so as either of 

 the preceding hounds. It is a most determined 

 enemy of the fox, and an active, useful dog. 



The Harrier. 



THE HARRIER. This hound also hunts by scent, 

 and has an excellent nose. It is most useful in the 

 pursuit of the hare, being too light and delicate for 

 the more protracted chace of the fox or the deer; 

 they are, however, sometimes seen with the pack, 

 and instances have known of their evincing great 

 powers of untiring perseverance in the chace of deer.
