Chines* dogs; No. 3. Chinese dog (tame), Nat. Hist. Mus. No. 4. West- Indian dog (almost without hair). No. 5. Dog from New Zealand, Oxford. The New-Zealand dog described by writers, to an animal of which kind we presume the last-mentioned skull to have belonged, is called Kararahe by Youatt, who states that it was probably introduced into the island by Spaniards from Juan Fernandez. Fitzinger states that the similarity of characteristics between this dog and the great Pariah is so marked as to leave no doubt that the former is a climatic modification of the latter. The naked West-Lndian do°- is presumably one of the Greyhound family. In order to bring the leading points to be drawn from these measurements together, we shall summarize in two further tables the averages of the chief breeds. The tables are drawn up only from those groups of which, at least, three specimens have been examined. The maximum measurement of each breed, the minimum, the difference between these two, and the average, are given for each of the several measurements which have been made and detailed in former tables. Table XXXIII. gives those figures which relate to measurements of bones. Table X X X I V . those having to do with the individual teeth. |
