for domestic purposes. Captain Williamson con- 
founds them with his beriahs, but they are reported 
to be somewhat lower than that animal, with a 
broader back, and of a light grey colour, obscurely 
marked with darker cross bars by the tips of the 
hair being black; the limbs and face pale buff. 
A specimen shot among the rocks on the sea-shore, 
near Vincovah, in the vicinity of Bombay, was 
in colour yellowish-grey, brindled with blackish 
streaks: the head was sharp; the under parts dirty 
white; the tail not very hairy, whitish below ; and 
the markings on the body so distinct, that some 
young officers present conceived it to be a young 
tiger; but other persons immediately named it a 
jungle koola (wild dog). It was killed in the act 
of searching for offals and putrid animal matter cast 
on shore by the sea.*
