Paris' former Chemin de fer de Petite Ceinture ('small(er) belt railway'), also colloquially known as "La Petite Ceinture", was a circular railway built as a means to supply the city's fortification walls, and as a connection between Paris' railway termini.
 Built as two distinct 'Ceinture Syndicate' freight and 'Paris-Auteuil' passenger lines from 1851 that together formed an arc that surrounded the northern two thirds of Paris, it would become a fill circle of rail around the capital when its third Ceinture Rive Gauche section was built in 1867.
 Serving first as a freight-only line, then developing into a passenger service, the Chemin de fer de Ceinture became Paris' first metro-like urban transport.
 Much-frequented until its 1900 Universal Exposition peak, the Metro appearing that year would mark the onset of the Petite Ceinture line's decline.

Conformation in dogs refers solely to the externally visible details of a dog's structure and appearance, as defined in detail by each dog breed's written breed standard.
 A dog that "conforms" to most of the items of description in its individual breed standard is said to have "good conformation".
 Unlike equine conformation, there are no fixed rules for dog conformation, as dogs are the most variable in appearance of any animals ("Phenotypic variation among dog breeds, whether it be in size, shape, or behavior, is greater than for any other animal").
 Instead, conformation in dogs is based on the dog type from which the breed developed, along with many details that have been added to the breed standard for purposes of differentiation from other breeds, for working reasons, or for enhancing the beauty of the animals from the viewpoint of the fanciers who wrote the breed standards.

A breed standard (also called bench standard or the standard) in the dog fancy is a set of guidelines covering specific "externally observable" qualities such as "appearance", "movement", and "temperament" for that dog breed.

 Details and definitions within breed standards for a specific dog breed may vary from breed club to breed club and from country to country.
 Dog breed standards are similar in form and function to breed standards for other domesticated animals.
