ORIENTAL GREYHOUNDS. 
skin showing through of a purple colour. 
The Poligar hound is used for hunting 
foxes, deer, and jackal, and three of them 
will tackle a boar. 
Other Greyhounds of Eastern type are 
the Tartar Greyhound and those of the 
Crimea, Caucasus, Anatolia, Kurdistan, and 
Circassia. 
It should be the object of all those who 
import the Greyhounds of the East, and 
breed them in this country, to try to keep 
distinct the different varieties, which in 
many cases have been so carefully preserved 
in their own lands. The historic interest 
attached to each breed is alone a sufficient 
inducement to do so. 
(The above information has been gathered from 
books on dogs and accounts of travel, often kindly 
supplemented by the authors themselves. The 
matter has, however, chiefly been derived from 
483 
reports collected from native breeders, and most 
kindly given by European travellers and residents, 
who have been, or who now reside, in the districts 
where the various breeds are known. Keepers and 
assistant keepers in the British Museum have 
been most kind in assisting in research. Thanks 
are also due to the Société Nationale d’Acclima- 
tation de France, and to many friends who have 
helped with historical and technical knowledge, 
and also to the owners of the different varieties.
