ed-lean ofthe greyhound type, with the heavy eyes and tancolour of the bloodhound. But even if this evidence,and more of the same sort, were entirely lacking, there aremost unmistakable traces in the English foxhound, as hestands to-day, of a strong dash of the greyhound as well asof the bloodhound ; compare the pictures opposite. The greyhound is described in a very old couplet whichcomes as near being a description of an English foxhoundof to-day as would be a description of a contemporarybloodhound. The neck Hke a drakes, back like abeam, the great depth of chest, the shortness of the jointsbelow the knees and hocks, not to mention speed, undoubt-edly are points common to the three species.

This,again, shows to what a wonderful degree of comeliness andutility these animals have attained. Altogether I reaffirmmy belief that the English foxhound is the most wonderfulexample of the art of breeding for improvement anywhereto be observed. It is by no means easy to produce a new breed of domes-tic animals, even under the most favourable circumstances.We may cross two families of dairy cattle, or two familiesof beef cattle, or the thoroughbred with the standard horse,with a view to producing a new family; but it would beconsidered madness and a waste of time to attempt to forma new
