yellow ; the limbs, under part and tip of the tail, 
the same ; inside of the thighs dirty white. It was 
not practicable to take their dimensions ; but their 
height at the shoulder was below 14 inches. If 
they came from Western Africa, that race may 
spread as far as the Cape; for Sir J. Barrow 
observed Jackals in troops about the Snewsbergen.
