fal was made and feconded, that other forts of 
fheep to which any of the company might be par- 
tial, fhould be added, forthe purpofe of afcertain- 
ing their refpective merits. 
Accordingly, fix forts were fent to me in the be- 
ginning of January 1792, viz. 
5 Leicefter from Mr. More, of Charleote, Warwickfhire. 
5 Cotfwold from Mr. Pacey, of Northleach, Glocefterfhire. 
5 South-Down from Mr. Gale, of Stert, Wilts. 
15 of the polled breed. 
5 Dorfet from Mr. Hix, Cafile-Cary, Somerfet.. 
5 Wilts from Mr. Tinker, Chittern, Wilts. 
5 Mendip from Mr. Parfons, Blagdon, Somerfet. 
15 of the horned breed. 
With a view of proceeding regularly and impar- 
tially in the experiment, I had the whole lot weighed 
after twelve hours confinement without food. This 
was done on the 3d of January 1792, and the 
weighing was continued regularly every month till 
the time of their death. The refult will appear in 
the following tables; attefted by
