When they are kept as slaves, il not stuffed
with raw meat occasionally, they are as
dangerous as a beast of prey. The slave
traders, on this account, refuse TO buy them,
as they do not want their stock 10 eat each
other up.
The descriptions Of them say that the
prolonga,ion OF the vertebral column gives
10 each indivIdual-male or iemale--a tail
OF Two or three inches long. They are call
ed Ghilanes. and are rarely more than FIVE

long and slim; forehead low and recednej
ears long and deformed; mouth wide. and
furnished with teeth very sharp.
