officer Of the Indian army, are recorded
a number of such cases as are indicated

and a Little boy. The boy went on ALI
fours, and ran as fast as the wheips could.
He was caught with difficulty, and had
to be tied to keep him from rushing into
holes and dens. He was alarmed when
grown-up persons came near him, and
tried to steal away. But IL IL was a
child, he would rush at IL with a fierce
snarl, like a dogs, and try TO bite it.
He rejected cooked meat, but seized
raw meat greedly. put it.on the ground
under his hands, like dog, and ate il
with evident pleasure. He would not
let any one come near him while he was
eating. but made no oh ection to a dog
