hound by " being longer and narrower in the face and head, and 

 somewhat more hollow under the eye." We cannot say to what 

 special breed the example of which the measurements are given 

 below belonged. It is in the Oxford University Museum. 



"Between a large Welsh Harrier and an Otter-hound no one but 

 an expert could detect any difference, which, after all, will be found 

 to exist only in the coat and feet, and then in a very slight degree." 

 says ' Stonehenge.' For this reason we have placed the measure- 

 ments of a skull of this breed, in the Oxford University Museum, in 

 the same table. 



Table XIX. — Harrier and Otter-hound. 



No. 1. Harrier. No. 2. Otter-honnd. 



"The true Beagle is a miniature specimen of the old Southern 

 hound " {Stonehenge^. The following table gives the measurements 

 of two specimens ; No. 1 from the Natural History Museum, No. 2 

 from the Oxford University Museum. 



The Pointer possibly came from Spain, and originally Phoenicia 

 (C. H. S.). There is, however, no proof, says ' Stonehenge,' that 

 it originated in Spain, and the animal called the Old Spanish 

 Pointer is now quite extinct in this country. It is possible,- he 

 proceeds to say, that the present Pointer may have been produced 

 by careful selection from the original Spanish Pointer, but it is more 

 probable that in all cases a cross directly with the Greyhound, or 

 indirectly with that breed through the Foxhound, has been resorted 

 to.
