vpon fome fmall ifle or peninfula, on the fea-coaft of 

 Wales, Devonfliire, or Cornwall, where the fheep 

 could be allowed to. feed as in Zetland 5 and by the 

 increafe confequent on a proper care, they might 

 multiply to a great number. 



Or, as in Spain, fome flocks might be fed in the 

 mountains during fummer, and in the low-lands in 

 winter ; but as this laft feems impradicable, I Ihall 

 only obferve, that the temperature which the Spa- 

 nilh iheep enjoy, is thought to be the reafon that the 

 hot climate has not the fame effed on the Iheep 

 there, as it has in every other hot country. 



By means of the former experiment, a gradual im- 

 provement, if not a new flock, might be introduced. 



N. B. Five or fix fiieep of the Zetland breed 

 may be fed with the food of one Englifh. 



An account of the current trade and probable 

 fchemes of improvement of Zetland, may be had 

 ifneceflary. .
