, ma; he is from Caramania, in Asia Minor, ta-


ken from on board Turkish vessel bound
to Constantinople, and presented to Capt.


Gerry by the Greek Admiral Tombazo,
who assured him that he was a native of the


above place. and that he would be great


acquisition to improve the breeds Of this


country. Their wool is particularly atlap-


ted to the manufacture of Camblets, and Their
flesh is esteemed excellent and delicate.


This animal has broad tail, and the nat


ural colour of the wool is dark brown OF snuff


colour; the fleece, before shearing, dragged
on the ground, (except under the belly J SO


as completely to hide the feet, and weighed


llbs; lie is in prime condition and sound


health, the size greater than any of the lar


gest sheep OF our country. The head is


beautiful, the eye piercing and quick in mo-
tion; no fleece beyond the ears; the head


appears to project out from the fleece, hav-


ing the resemblance of the dark brown short


fur Of the deer's head; the horns are hand


somely seated and OF the middle size.


John Brentnal. an English farmer of high
standing, residing in Woodbridge, in a let
ter to William Shotwell of New York, dated


10th June, 1925, says he took 81 lbs. of
wool from him; that he would have proda-
ced from 4 to lbs. more, had he not have
Deen robDed; that there were several places
Of or inches square from which the wool
had been taken; further, he is extremely
gratifed with the frame of the animal, that
he is large and perfect, his limbs well pro-
portioncd, his skin extremely delicate and
white, his strength great; and he has no
hesitation in saying this very extraordinary
animal will prove of much greater advan-
tage to our breeds of sheep than the Merino
or any other hitherto introduced;-as heis
but three years old, he will undoubtedly in
crease in size, and produce still more
abundant quantity of wool; observing that
its superior size, the weight of the fleece,
the length Of the wool, and the quality of
the flesh, cannot but he the best rccommen-
dation; and says to ascertain the quality Of
the ilcsh Of Il sheep is BY the smcll The
hair is not as fine as the Cashmere goats,
but 1t IS thicker an'l in greater quantities.
