* Genus CUON. General structure and dentition of Canis, but the molars only 

 , the second tubercular behind the carnassier being deficient. Teats, as many as 

 fourteen, or more than in any of the proper dogs ; skull, by its uniform arcuation 

 along the culmenal line, and by its shorter, stronger jaws, declining from the canine 

 models, towards the feline. Parietes amply swollen, with moderate cristae. 



Odour and aspect of Sacalius (Smith) Canis (Linn.), but ears and tail usually 

 larger, the brow and eye bolder, and the muzzle blunter. Shoulders and croup level. 

 Specific character Wild dog with double coat of wool and hair ; large hairy-soled 

 feet ; large erect ears, and very bushy straight tail, reaching half way from the hough 

 to the sole ; deep rusty above, yellowish below and on insides of ears and of limbs 

 and on lips. Hodgson. (Calc. Journ. N. H. II. p. 209.)
