Mr Fred. Cuvier lately noticed five varieties of 
the Jackal :—The Caucasian, the Nubian, the Se- 
negal, the Algerine, and the Morean. Two of 
these, we apprehend, we have classed with Thous. 
The Caucasian may be our 7. aemon; and the two 
last are no doubt true Sacka/ix. But not having 
been able to see his descriptions we know not if 
they are introduced here.
