88 THE The Lion at present is an inhabitant of the greater part of Africa, and the warmer districts of India. In the days of antiquity, the range seems to have been much more extended, and reached to the Eu- ropean boundary. Lions were even found in the mountains... of northern Greece; and, according to Herodotus, the camels which carried the baggage of the army of Xerxes were attacked by them in the country of the Pseonians, one of the races of Mace- donia. In Africa, they may now be said to be ex- tirpated from the line of coast, and nearly mark the boundary of civilization; while Mr Bennet remarks, that "In the sandy deserts of Arabia, and in some of the wilder districts of Persia, and in the vast jungles of Hindostan, he still maintains a precarious footing ; but from the classic soil of Greece, as well as from the whole of Asia Minor, both of which were once exposed to his ravages, he has been utterly dislodged and extirpated.
