88 WOODHOUSE ON THE NORTH AMERICAN JACKALL. 



I procured a male and female ; these I regret to say have not lost their milk teeth, 

 but they have attained their full growth, as I have seen numbers of them. 



On showing them to Dr. Townsend, he recognised them immediately, and said 

 that he had seen them frequently on the plains of the Missouri, but never beyond 

 the mountains. 



This animal has hitherto been confounded with the Canis latrans of Say.
