the Thibet fheep have already found their way into 

 Bengal, where they never can be of any ufe; but 

 none of them have yet been imported from thence 

 into this country. Travellers mention an animal 

 of that country of the goat kind, called Touz^ 

 which carries a fleece much finer than the wool of 

 their fheep. Enquiries fhould be made if fuch an 

 animal exifts, and if it does, fome of them, if pof- 

 fible, (hould be brought to this country^ as there 

 is little reafon to doubt but they would here prof- 

 per abundantly. 



The Paco and Vicuna of South- America, com- 

 monly called Peruvian Jheepy though they be, ftri(5lly 

 fpeaking, of the camel tribe i yet as they carry wool 

 of the nature of that of Ihecp, only finer in quality, 

 Ihould alfo be attended to by the fociety. Could 

 a few of thefe animals be obtained here, there is 

 great reafon tq believe they would thrive very well 

 in Britain, as they naturally delight to dwell only 

 in the cold regions of the Andes, and have been 

 found to do very well at Aranguez in Spain, where 

 a few of them have been kept for feveral years paft 

 merely as a curiofity. Could we produce a fufH- 

 cient quantity of this kind of wool, at a moderate 

 price, it would give many of our Jinefl mamifd(5lures 

 a prodigious advantage over thofe of our rivals, as 

 is fuHiciently obvioust
