CEYLONESE DOG. 
This Dog we have taken from Pennant, 
who seems to have copied it from Vosmaer, 
by whom it is denominated Le Chien Sauvage 
de Ceylan. 
It has, Pennant remarks, a long thick nose, 
which is blunt at the end ; the ears, which are 
TtBi at bottom, point forward at their extrc- 
[\iities ; the legs are strong ; and the claws mdie 
•esemble those of a Cat, than of a Dog. The 
general colour of this animal is a cinereous 
rellow ; the belly is ash-coloured ; and the legs 
tre almost entirely brown. The hair is soft, 
nd close-set. The length of the body is 
jwenty-two inches and a half; that of the tuiU 
vhich tapers to a point, is sixteen inches. 
This animal^ he adds, is a native of Ceylon, 
lut it's history is quite unknown. 
As the above is the whole of Pennant's de- 
:rIption, were it not for the intimation which 
N receive from Vosmaer's name of the 
pimal, it would not be possible to tell whe^
