Abstract
IT may be worth noting that since my letter to you of some months back, in which I gave an instance of foxterrier pups being born with short tails, I have heard of two similar cases. In one of these cases the dog was owned by one of the managers of the Rhodes' Fruit Farms, near Cape Town. The other case occurred in the Transvaal at Sabi, one out of a litter of four being born with a short tail.
