THE DOG TRIBE 69 \ey^, but was too large and heayy in his limbs, and had widely spread, ugly feet, exposing him to frequent lameness. His muzzle and head were large, corresponding with the acuteness of his smell. His ears were large and pendent, and his body ill-formed. He was naturally an ill-tempered dog, growling at the hand that would caress him, even although it were his master's. He stood steadily to his birds; but it was difficult to break him of chasing the hare. He was deficient in speed. His redeeming quality was his excel- lent scent, unequalled in any other kind of dog. The Mastiit. — The head considerably resembles that of the bull-dog, but with the ears dependent. The upper lip falls over the lower jaw. The end of the tail is turned up, and fre- quently the fifth toe of the hind feet is more or less The Mastiff. The nostrils are separated out one from another by a deep furrow. He has a grave and somewhat sullen countenance, and his deep- toned bark is often heard during the night. The mastiff is taller.
