254 THE BREEDING OF ANIMALS 



240. Sheep-goat hybrid. The cross between the 

 sheep and goat has been successful in a number of in- 

 stances. Spillman reports such a hybrid belonging to E. 

 Armand of Monett, Missouri. (See Plate XVIII, lower.) 



The covering of the body of this hybrid was generally 

 goat hair, but the back was covered with " shaggy wool." 

 " This hybrid is a female and appears to be infertile, but 

 not absolutely so, for it has once produced a half-grown 

 foetus." l
