Of the Dalmatian, which belongs to this group, we have been 

 unable to examine a specimen. 



Group V. — Mastiffs. 



A race either Mastiff or Bull-dog, or both, was, says Smith, 

 existent in Britain before the Romans. This race is supposed to 

 have been the progenitor of the breed of Talbot-dogs of mediajval 

 times, and they again of the modern Mastiff, which some hold to be 

 identical, whils't others think that the Talbot was something bet-ween 

 a Mastiff and a Bull-dog. The typical form, according to the above- 

 mentioned authority, is the Thibetan. The English modern Mastiff 

 has been much crossed with tlie Bull-dog (S.). 



The following table includes several varieties.
