from a batch of horns collected somewhere on the Cuttack coast or further 

 south towards Madras. Two pairs of Black buck horns, 26^ and 24|^ inches 

 long, are stated to weigh 1 lb. 4 oz. and 1 lb. 11 oz., respectively. In the 6th 

 vol. (1847) a description is given of a hybrid between a female jackal and 

 Scotch terrier. It was a male and gathered two litters, the mothers being 

 smooth English terriers. The 2nd cross being therefore one-quarter 

 jackal and three-quarters dog, a female of this last lot was put to a Scotch 

 terrier and had five pups who were one-eighth jackal and seven-eighths 

 dog. The quarter jackal (2nd cross) and the half jackal No. 1 also bred, 

 the result being 3 pups, five-eighths dog and three-eighths jackal. The 

 writer also describes a cross between a female wolf and a pointer dog. 

 He also mentions that he was informed that the Rampore Greyhound was 

 crossed with the wild-dog, the offspring being called "Lall be bao " or 

 •'Priceless Red " which would grapple with a bear or hyjena. 



This Journal in vol. 5 has a map of the Bombay Race Course as it 

 existed in 1847.
