Abstract
UNDER this head Mr. Wilkins, in your last impression (p. 151), speaks of Podoces panæri hiding food in the sand. I have a fox-terrier puppy which was taken from its mother when about seven weeks old, and sent to me. I have no other dogs, nor has he seen any dogs, but he buries bones in the garden with great skill, digging a hole with his fore-paws. He puts in the bone, and carefully pushes it down with his nose, and then covers it with garden soil, which is pushed in with his nose. The work is very carefully and elaborately well done.
