lures ; and, secondly, that which may be called the Drover's 

 Dog, which is larger than the former, and more usually 

 employed to assist in driving Sheep to the London market. 



The Terrier. Two distinct varieties are used for the pur- 

 pose of entering the burrows of Foxes, Badgers, fyc, in 

 hunting, both of which are thence called Terriers. 



The first is generally black on the back, sides, head, and 

 tail; but has the belly, neck, paws, and tip of the tail, a 

 bright or reddish-brown, with a spot of the like colour over 

 each eye. The hair is short ; the tail is carried slightly 

 curved upwards ; the ears are short and erect ; and the 

 snout is moderately elongated. Though small, it is a very 

 resolute Dog, and a determined enemy of Rats, Rabbits, 

 and many other animals, in the pursuit of which it evinces 

 an extraordinary and untaught alacrity. Some of them 

 will draw a Badger from his hole. 



The other species of the Terrier alluded to, is generally 

 of a dirty white colour, except about the eyes and ears, 

 which are brown. It stands higher before than behind ; 

 has the muzzle more truncated than the other, and beset 

 with stiff bristles ; the hair, all over, is rather long and 

 curly ; and the ears are partly erect, and partly pendulous. 



This is, perhaps, in general, more powerful than the 

 other. It is equally courageous, and quite as well fitted for 

 the purposes from which they both take their name. It is 

 sometimes called the Scotch Terrier. 



The Wolf, or Pomeranian Dog, {Canis Pomeranus, L.) 

 has the hair short on the head, feet, and ears, but long and 

 silky on the body and tail. It is white, black, gray, or 

 yellowish in colour ; and has almost all the sagacity of the 

 Shepherd's Dog, accompanied with much more strength. It is 

 also used as a guard for the flocks, particularly in countries 

 pestered with the Wolf, which it never fails to attack with 

 success, while the former can only frighten that animal. 



The Siberian Dog, (Canis Sibiricus. L.) appears to be
