THEfirst and chief point of interest in this chapter is, whether the numerous domesticated varieties of the dog have descended from a single wild species, or froin several. Some authors believe that all have descended froin the wolf, or from the jackal, or from anunknown and extinct species. Others again believe, and this of late has been the favourite tenet, that they have descended from several species, extinct and recent, more or less commingled together. We shall probably never be able to ascertain their origin with certainty. Palaeontology does not throw much light on the question, owing, on the one hand, to the close similarity of the skulls of extinct as well as living wolves and jackals, and owing, on the other hand, to Owen, ‘ British Fossil Mammals,’ habits.
