Es ist auch eine merkwürdige That- sache, die mir von Mr. Blyth  versichert worden ist, dass wilde Exemplare des G. bankiva,  die von den Ländern östlich von der Bai von Bengalen kommen, viel leichter gezähmt werden, als die aus Indien.

Blyth and Crawfurd, who have attended to this subject, doubt whether Gallus ever existed in a wild state even as far west as Persia. Although the earliest Greek writers speak of the fowl as a Persian bird, this probably merely indicates its line of importation. For the discovery of unknown species we must look to India, to the Indo-Chinese countries, and to the

In other cases some slight effect may possibly be attributed to natural selection, as cats in many cases have largely to support themselves and to escape diverse dangers. But man, owing to the difficulty of pairing cats, has done nothing by methodical selection; and probably very little by unintentional selection; though in each litter he generally saves the prettiest, 92 J.
