OF that species. It would be immen-
sely interesting. may say in passing,
to make a special study of the cat
OF Egyptian metropolis in documents
OF known date, so as to learn to what
degree and with what speed the cat
became transformed when she left her
free life and became domesticated.
But this much, in any case, Is worthy
OF comment: There is no longer in
Egypt a full-blooded example of the
domesticated gloved cat. The breed
is pure only when wild.
The gloved cat had evidently it's
share in producing her own domesti.
Gated cat. as had also, very possibly.
the booted, which is now found in
North Africa, but which is common
enough in Europe during the Quater-
nary period. The bracelets" on the
forelegs Of our striped cat are plainly
those of the gloved cat; and in Spain
1t is beyond question that the domes.
tic cat is descended from the gloved
variety. So far as appearances 20.
we might conclude that the Egyptians
had cat that has since disappeared.
or that they had an imported cat;
in reality the cat was there all the
while. only enjoying a life of freedom.
With the ibis the case is wholly
different. The ibis was sacred to Isis:
it personified the Nile valley; it was
the emblem of Egypt in the days when
10th, the god of learning and medi.
cine, personif1ed the intellect. But
Herodotus attributes two ibises to Egg.
ypt a black one. which was a great
destroyer of serpents, and white one.
which was domesticated bird. When
the Nile rose, then came countless in.
Uses, and the people credited them
with what was really the work of the
river. But no black ibis exists; what
now becomes of Herodotus' veracity?
Thanks to science, it gets its defense;
the philolOgists explain that the name
applied to the black ibis is that of an.
other species, which exists today. and
certain mummied ibises are found to
be this very bird. And now some one
will ask about the white ibis; for the
white ibis has undeniably vanished
from Egypt. And yet it was living
there a century ago; Savigny saw sew
eral specimens of it in the Delta.
Some were obseveral even as late as
1877, and it still survives in Ethiopia.
Perhaps Egypt doesn't attract it SO ef-
fectually as formerly. At any rate
the difficulty need not embarrass us.
