DR. C^w, an Englijh phyfician, who flourifhed 

 in the reign of queen Elizabeth, has left among 

 feveral other trads relating to natural hiftory, one 

 wrote exprefsly on the fpecies of Britijh dogs : they 

 were wrote for the ufe of his learned friend Gefner % 

 with whom he kept a ftridl correfpondence ; and 

 whofe death he laments in a very elegant and pathetic 

 manner. 



Befides a brief account of the variety of dogs then 

 exifting in this country, he has added a fyftematic 

 table of them : his method is fo judicious, that ive 

 Ihall make ufe of the fame ; explain it by a brief ac- 

 count of each kind ; and point out thofe that are no 

 longer in ufe among us.
