The breed seems peculiar. I observed a dog at a remote village in that province equal in size to a Newfoundland dog. Wolves, or wild dogs (for I had no opportunity of judging which), are found in the forests. No jackals or common foxes have yet been discovered, and it is believed that they do not exist below the latitude of 19° north. Many kinds of tortoises, as 200 GEOLOGY OF THE MALAYAN PENINSULA. before observed, and river turtle, were seen by me. The natives, especially the Karians, train d...ogs to search for them, as the)' form often a chief article of their food. The birds are — white sea-eayles, white land-eagles, hawks of various species, vultures, and kites. The peafowl here exhibits a brilliancy of plumage which far excels that of the Indian one. It is also a larger bird. There are at the least four elegant varieties of the pheasant tribe ; also quails in abundance, and several kinds of partridges, of which the green, with a red tuft, and the blue, are most conspicuous. There is likewise a jungle cock, having a rich blue and reddish plumage, and nearly twice the size of the common jungle fowl.
