Abstract
MR. DARWIN'S notes on Instinct, recently published by my friend Mr. Romanes, have again called our attention to the interesting subject of instinct in animals. Miss Martineau once remarked that, considering how long we have lived in close association with animals, it is astonishing how little we know about them, and especially about their mental condition. This applies with especial force to our domestic animals, and above all of course to dogs.
