. Swinhoe  hat sich auf meine Bitte die Hunde in China, in Amoy, angesehen und hat einen braunen Hund mit gelben Flecken über den Augen gefunden. Oberst H. Smith 39  gibt eine Allbildung der prachtvollen schwarzen Dogge von Thibet mit einem gelbbraunen Streifen über den Augen, Füssen und Lippen; und was noch sonderbarer ist, er bildet den Alco, den eingebornen Haushund von Mexico schwarz und weiss ab, mit schmalen gelbbraunen Ringen um die Augen. Bei der Hundeausstellung in London im Mai 1863 war

74 Pferde. 2. Cap. in derselben Weise, wie in England 33 . Mr. Swinhoe  erzählt mir, dass er zwei hellgraubraune Ponies zweier chinesischer Rassen untersucht hat, nämlich von Shanghai und Amoy, und beide hatten den Rückenstreifen; der letztere einen unbedeutenden Schulterstreifen. Wir sehen hieraus, dass in allen Theilen der Erde Pferderassen, die sonst so verschieden als möglich sind, die oben erwähnten verschiedenen Streifen besitzen, wenn sie graubraun sind (und ich bezeichne mit diesem

Sir James Brooke hat mir Exemplare aus Borneo, Mr. Swinhoe  aus Amoy in China, und Mr. Daniell  von der Westküste von Afrika gesandt. 2 Mr. B. P.

Felstaube von den Shetland-Inseln. Eine mir von Mr. Swinhoe  von Fu-tscku in China geschickte Haustaube war ebenfalls eher klein, wich aber in anderer Hinsicht nicht ab. Durch die Gefälligkeit des Dr. Daniell  habe ich auch vier lebende Haustauben von Sierra Leone 17  erhalten; diese waren reichlich so gross wie die Shet- Tauben fortgepflanzt habe; er hat mir noch andere Fälle von wilden Felstauben mitgetheilt, wo jung eingefangene Vögel sich in der Gefangenschaft fortpflanzten. 16 Annals and Mag. of

; augenblicklich gibt es drei solcher Gesellschaften in London. Wie mir Mr. Blyth  sagt, sind in Indien die Einwohner von Delhi und einiger anderer grosser Städte eifrige Taubenliebhaber. Mr. Layard  theilt mir mit, dass in Ceylon die meisten der bekannten Rassen gehalten werden. Nach Mittheilungen von Mr. Swinhoe in Amoy und Dr. Lockhart  in Shangai, werden in China Botentauben, Pfauentauben, Burzier und andere Varietäten mit Sorgfalt erzogen, besonders von den Bonzen oder Priestern.

 Domesticirte Tauben. G. Cap ten, und die ich lebend gehalten habe, waren in einer auffallenden Art geringer gegen unsere Ausstellungsvögel. Die Javapfauentaube zeigt dieselbe Differenz der Haltung und obgleich Mr. Swinhoe 18 und 24 Schwanzfedern bei seinen Vögeln gezählt hat, besass doch ein Exemplar erster Qualität, welches mir geschickt wurde, nur 14 Schwanzfedern.

great cities are eager fanciers. Mr. Layard informs me that most of the known breeds are kept in Ceylon. In China, according to Mr. Swinhoe of Amoy, and Dr. Lockhart of Shangai, carriers, fantails, tumblers, and other varieties are reared with care, especially by the bonzes or priests. The Chinese fasten a kind of whistle to the tail-feathers of their pigeons, and as the flock wheels through the air they produce a sweet sound. In Egypt the late Abbas Pacha was a great fancier of fantails. Many

rare; nevertheless I have been assured by Mr. Warwick, that one ran at the Caledonian Champion meeting of April, 1860, and was marked precisely like a black-and-tan terrier. Mr. Swinhoe at my request looked at the dogs in China, at Amoy, and he soon noticed a brown dog with yellow spots over the eyes. Colonel H.

leg-stripes. Burmese and Javanese ponies are frequently dun-coloured, and have the three kinds of stripes, in the same degree as in England. 33 Mr. Swinhoe informs me that he examined two light-dun ponies of two Chinese breeds, viz. those of Shangai and Amoy; both had the spinal stripe, and the latter an indistinct shoulder-stripe. We thus see that in all parts of the world breeds of the horse as different as possible, when of a dun-colour (including under this term a wide range of tint from

which originally came from the S. Natunas Islands in the Malay archipelago, and which had been crossed with the Singapore dovecots; they were small, and the darkest variety was extremely like the dark chequered variety with a blue croup from Madeira; but the beak was not so thin, though decidedly thinner than in the rock-pigeon from the Shetland Islands. A dovecot-pigeon sent to me by Mr. Swinhoe from Foochow, in China, was likewise rather small, but differed in no other respect. I have also
