191. Australasian Dog, or Dingo, Shaw's Zool.

76. This animal is common in the neighbourhood of Port Jackson, and dogs, to all appearance of the same species, are found on all parts of the coast. Captain King presented a living specimen to Sir Everard Home, Bart., who sent it to Exeter Change. In considering this species as distinct from the common dog, I am supported by the opinion of Mr.William MacLeay*.
