Dear Sir,

Some months ago I mentioned to you a case of apparent conscience in a cat.² Since the peculiarities in the descendants of the mastiff Turk have been placed before the public it occurred to me that you might like to hear of other striking hereditary peculiarities.³ The same cat of which I before spoke, in its early youth, used to be very fond of running up people when they were standing and sitting on their shoulders after such exploit. This cat had two generations of kittens which showed no such peculiarity. In the present litter of four there are two which have the tendency, one of them in a very marked degree. It is now between three & four months old.

I am, dear Sir, | yours truly, | Eustace M. Swanwick.
