BRISTLY CAVY. 
The soles of the feet are formed of fleslir 
naked protuberances, divided by furrows ; the 
hair on the toes is black. 
This animal, which feeds entirely on vege- 
tables, is mild, feeble, timid, easily tamed, and 
has no voice or cry. Mr. Bruce is of opinion, 
that it chev^-s the cud ; and is the Gannim, or 
Daman Israel, of the Arabs, and the Saphan 
of the Sacred Scriptures, which is erroneously 
translated, the Coney, or Rabbit.
