20 CHRONOLOGICAL ARRANGEMENT 



"j6h" or "jinjomjem" touch, to touch; " jajith61 " tow, "shashinou " undressed flax, " shashStM " 

 tip of nose ; " shashitdn " upper garment ; " thouraji " sacred cloak (compare " royal robe " in Horap. 

 i. 38) ; "jihvas," garments ; " jat" or "jet " or "jot" or " j6t6 " to penetrate. — The character occurs 

 under the Third dynasty (Leps. d. ii. pi. 3) ; and the dog without any accompaniment, under the 

 Nineteenth (Leps. k. pi. 32). 



The ifoi;, from North America, known in Egypt nearly or quite as far back as the time of the 

 invention of writing: —hunting with ^revhounds is figured under the Third dynasty (Leps. d. ii. pi. 

 6); also under the Twelfth, at" Benihassan ; and I was assured, is practised to the present day in 

 Nubia, the superior swiftness of the breed being recognized, as in Europe. Under the Fourth 

 dynasty, in the one or two instances observed at Gizeh, the dog continued of the breed figured in 

 Leps. d. ii. pi. 3, agreeing with the jackal in the pointed muzzle, but the tail curling. Under the 

 Twelfth dynasty at Benihassan, the breeds were numerous, one of them being pretty distinctly the 

 turf spit. In Switzerland during the Stone period, clogs were kept by the inhabitants ; as appears 

 from debris of the earliest villages (Rutim,in Troyon). Eastward in Hindustan, the dog is men-, 

 tioned in the Sama Veda (Stevenson) : in the Institutes of Menu (Braminical version) ; a horseman 

 followed by hounds is figured in the Budhist cave-temples at Adjunta, but I met with no figures of 

 the dog in Braminical cave-temples. The sign for dog enters into the "primitive'' characters of 

 Chinese writing (Pauth. 84) : and a "large clog" was brought to the emperor Wou-wang by ambas- 

 sadors from the country of Lou in the West (Chou-King), probably a Thibetan mastiff; such as are 

 figured on the monuments at Niniveh, and mentioned by Greek and Roman writers, and by Marco 

 Polo 116 as " chenz mastin qe sunt grant come asnes." 



The Australians appear to be the only considerable portion of mankind destitute of the compan- 

 ionship of the dog ; vet the Jingo, according to Leidy, is only the domestic dog carried there and 

 become wild (facts pointing to Hindustan). Eastward from China and the Malayan archipelago, the 

 dog was carried by Polynesians throughout the islands of the Pacific (except only that I was unable 

 to ascertain, Whether it was aboriginally known in New Zealand). The American tribes, from the 

 Arctic Sea to Cape Horn, had the companionship of the dog. and certain remarkable breeds had 

 been developed before the visit of Columbus (F. Columb. 25) : further, according to Coues, the cross 

 between the coyote and female dog is regularly procured by our Northwestern tribes, and according 

 to Gabb, dogs one-fourth coyote are pointed out; the fact therefore seems established, that the 

 coyote or American barking wolf, Canis latrans, is the dog in its original wild state.

Fourth dynasty to the Ptolemies (Leps. d. ii. pi. 22, k. pi. 52, and Rosselin. H mon. stor. ix. 35). 

 A third form 2 occurs in the Book of the Dead 125. 9, and continues in use 9 under the Twen- 

 tieth dynasty (Rossel. mon. cult, xlix ; "the weight or adjustment of the balance," Buns, and Birch.)

 signification of " Mars and Venus," given by Horapollo i. 8, belongs doubtless to a subsequent 

 period : the cry of " £kkori," from " kori " meaning " koronc," was kept up in his own day at Greek 

 weddings.
