 of eaeli dog, like -all gooil huntsmen, lie was iiccurately ac- 

 einainted with. 



Jake was, of course, a gi'cat favorite with old and young, 

 lie was allo\vi;il i.iam pi i; ih a. - ahove the common. "Thus, 



ihoiigh the hhi: ! : imI, . ! ; plantation, he was re-

jieighbor.s, which, m uiiiL, iji^jiuai 1dm a good round sum 

 yearly. A good double cabin whs assigned to him, and as 

 miicli land aroimd it as he and his family cotrid work in off 

 liom-s. 



As huntsuiaa he was expected to train the young dogs as they 

 name iu to foxes, and ou all good hunting days he *as allowe"d 

 the choice. Of the stable, which gencmlly contained a numljer 

 of young blooded colls : ' ir '-- a," noted fact that Jake 

 never failed to single . I lor his own use. ile 



Wiis H most excellent ; . nali flnne was nothing 



in his appearance to niai,- .^i a- . 1 .r the post of honor my 



uncle liad assigned hun. In liguic he was short, thick set, 

 and heiivy built, and he sat Ids horse like a bag of meal ; but 

 there was something iu his broad, genial, nurth-inspiriug face 

 .tiiat drew the young to him aa if by magic ; while the abso- 

 lute control he. had over his hounds, and the trumpet tones of 

 his voice ringing through the forest, soon conveyed to you 

 the impression that he was the right man in the right place ; 

 and when the qiiwry, be it deer or fox, was up and the pack 

 was racing on n burning scent, the way in which Juke cleaved 

 his way at a galop tlu'ough the brush, or cleared the fallen 

 logs and ravines that intercepted his career, was enough to 

 convince you that it would require ii more tlian ordinarily 

 hold horseman to hold his own with him. 



During One of the annual hunts at which my uncle had 

 command, a party of us were one morning wending om- way 

 to a nc'sy Uiiye, The day before the whole pack had nui oil'.

 until August 1, Willi the exception of Sun- 

 days, flu, work of sounding, dredsdng and trawling was kept 

 up without intermission. The weather duiiug tliis whole 

 time was fine. Dr. JelTreys states that : 



The priiK-ipial object of the expedition Was to ascertain the

or less filled up in the course of time, Evei-ywhere during the 

 dredgings ot the I'nu-aiUfii.i' in deep water the sea bed was 

 foinid to be covered by a thick layer of mud, of a different 

 color from that of the Atlantic of.ze'; and this mud has prob- 

 ably uccumulated from tmtolil .-tgi-s l,y the ince.s.sant afflux of 

 the'tlironde, the- Adour, and numerous otliei rivers and streams 

 into the Bay of Biscay. As may be supposed, the fauna which 

 mhabits this mud is very scanty, and it requires a considerable 

 amount of patience and persiiveranee to extract a few organ- 

 isms from the unpromising material. 



Very soon after the return of the expedition, a PrclimL 

 nary Report of the zoological resiilts of the dredging was pre- 

 pared by Prof. Alphonse Mil ne-Eil wtu-ds, which was aft erwards 

 published in the .Tonrnnl OffifUil r/e la Mepiibligite Fruncaise. 

 The moUusca, a large part of wiiich have been handed over to 

 Prof, Jeffreys for preliminary examination, appear to include 

 1.53 species, of which 138 were species foimd by the Porcupine 

 in 1870, throe are peculiariy northern, one ileililerraucau and 

 eleven new to science. 



A curious mollusc discovered by the ejqiedition is the Jfy- 

 tilan lutrus, a mussel of cimsitlerable size, inhabiting the deep 

 water, and living in the deep mud ahove referred to. Dr. 

 Jeffreys stales that ■•ii moeirs or Axes itself by means of a 

 large and densely matted liyscius, which is i,ijiin by the foot.
