Tom. 21. De l'influence de la Domesticité &c par M. Dureau de la Malle.

p 55 geese & ducks were in the time of the Varro & Columella kept in courts entirely covered with net. "Ne ex eâ anas aut anser enclava possit." remarks that young wild-duck (as he has tryd) take to wing naturally when hatched under domestic duck says 1800 centuries have passed since.

(What interval between Varro & Columella, to show that these were not the first domesticated birds - I think from livers & feathers &c no doubt they were our species)

p 58 Greeks & Romans had not created with horses the "pas relevé* center? it is not amble is it pacing? Varro & Pliny describe the amble, but it was taught & curious details are given -now pas releve & amble are hereditary - has seen in Brittany a 100 times sucking foals from both parents go by pas relevé & even from a trotting mare & stallion or cheval d' allure.

pas relevé horse "releve, non pas a la fois, comme dans l'amble, mais successivement les deux pieds du même coté; c'est un trot serré, qui marque, comme le pas ordinaire, quatre temps distincts."

In Tom 27 p 24 same author alludes to another pace viz aubin - says it is acquired & acquired since time of Pliny & Varron & inherited - says the three artificial paces acquired since time of Pliny & Varron are, "l'entrepas ou pas relevé, l'amble et l'aubin." in the aubin p 25 horse gallops with front legs & trots with those behind Dict. "Aubin" "Canterbury gallop" "Entrepas" Broken Amble"
