DOGS THAT LIVED
IN PREHISTORIC DAYS
Bones Found in Indian Mounds and
Cave-Dwellers' Homes.

The bones of the old Indian dog were
found in great numbers and there Is no
doubt but tnat this dog was one Of their
domestic animals, for Il Is known that
dogs were domastiCated long before
the earliest records of history, their re-
mains being found in connection with
the rude implements OF the ancient cave
and lake dwellers all through Europe
However. the history and description
or the Indian dog in the ancient dimes
is yet subject far from solution. The
remains OF the dog found In Indian
village sites were described by Prof
Lucas. or the Smithsonian Institution
at Washington, as being a shOrt-taCsd
dog, much of the size and proportions Of
a bull terrier, though probably not
short haired Prof. Lucas says he has
obtained specimens apparently Of The
same breed from the village sites IN
Texas and from old pueblos.
Prof. Putnam, OF Harvard University.
Tor more than twenty years has besn
collecting bones Of dogs IN connection
with prehistoric burials In various parts
or America ana study OF the skulls OF
these dogs found I'm the mounds and
burial places IN Florida, Georgia, South
Carolina, Ohio. Kentucky, and New
York and from the great shell heaps OF
Maine. shows that 8 distinct variety OF
species OF dog was distributed over
North America In pTe-Columbian times
Apparently the same variety OF dog Il
found in the ancient site or the SWISS
lake dwellers az Neufchatel, also IN The
ancient tombs OF Thebes in Egypt
Prof Putnam further says; DIS
variety Of dog Is apparently Identical
with the puTe-brea Scotch collie OF 20
day II this Is the case. the prehistoric
dog in America. Europe. and Egypt and
its persistence 20 the present time as
Il thoroughbred is suggestive or dla-
tinct species of the genus CAMS, which
was domestICated several thousand years
ago. and also that the prehistoric dog
i'm America was brought 10 this contin-
ent by very early emigrants from the
old world
He declares that comparisons have not
been made with dogs, that nave Deen
found in the tribes of the southwest,
with the ancient Mexicans and with the
In th4 latter part OF the fifteenth
century Columbus found two kinds OF
dogs Ia the West Indies and later Fer
nandez described three kinds Of dogs in
Mexico. and as Prof. Lucas has been able
10 trace the Baum village dog into the
far southwest IL Is very likely one OF
the kinds described by Fernandez.
However, 1t must be admitted that
comparisons have not been made with
sufficient eNactHess 10 place the Baum
village dog with any Of those described
by the early writers.
During the entire exploration fifty
bones OF the dog were removed. repre-
senting perhaps as many individuals.
Some OF the bones showed marks Of the
flint knife upon them. others were
broken In similar manner 10 bones OF
the deer and racOOu. Seven skulls were
found, but all had been broken IN order
