The numerous villagedogs, which in general are mangy, are almost astroublesome as the jackal. Apes of different kindshaunt houses, and pilfer food and fruits. The crow, kite, mino, and sparrow hop aboutthe dwellings of man with a familiarity unknown in Europe, and pilfer from the dishesof meat, even as they are carried from the kitchen to the eating-room. The stork iscommon ; and toads, serpents, lizards, and other reptiles and insects, are greatly keptunder by him and other birds. L 2. MS HISTORY OF AGRICULTURE. Part I.
