HARE. Let it be granted that a harrier is a hound that hunts the hare chiefly by scent, and we need waste neither time nor space in endeavouring to ascertain unde derivatur, for indeed it is of little importance what the harrier formerly was, whether he was descended from the talbot or southern hound, or whether his remote ancestors were those "Castoreans," or hybrids between hare- and fox-hounds, which Xenophon declared to be the only two sorts used for this purpose. What really concerns the modern sportsman is to understand how and with what equipage one of the most ancient and fascinating of pursuits is now conducted.

Packs. There are at the present moment, according to the latest Field "List of Hounds" (excluding 8 packs of footharriers), 100 packs of harriers in England, Tickham.
