[A Thefe were originally importeJ from the Continent, and are now grown fcarce. They rarely 

 tcrow fat here in their wild Uate, but tlieir flefh has a good flavour. 



r/"| The wether goat here is efteemed, when fat, not inferior to Englifh mutton, and flrongly 

 refembles it in flavour. Both goat's and (heep's milk is ufed here in common, and thought 

 very niuiifliiiig and rellorative. The cows ot the lowlands yield little, r.nd their milk is often poor 

 and waterifli. The young kids, roalled whole, are julHy elkemed a delicioi: '. regale. 



[gl One buck is reckoned fufficient for ten does. It is computed, that jO bleeders will annually 

 furnifn 50 for family ufe, 50 for fale, and a fufficient number befides to keep up the flock. The 

 .iilver-haired ikins anfwer bed for fale. 



[i>] The tlime of our Jamaica bwbccnc ami brawn is fo well eflablilhed, that it would anfwer no 

 purpofe to reiterate their praill's, except to tantalize the reader. The tame forts are a very profita- 

 ble flock to the fettler or planter, as they multiply tafl, and are kept or fattened with very little 

 uouble. One boar is generally allowed to ten fows. 



[ /] This animal ftcms to be fomewhat ot the lizard kind, but of the larger fpecies. It will feed 

 ■en cock-Toache«, or any other infeft, and even fmall fifli. It is eafily tamed when young, and en- 

 tirely inoft'enfive. 



[k] The mountain mullet is not unlike the fmelt in (hape, but it is at leaft fix times larger, and 

 juftly reputed one of the moft delicious filli in the univetfe. When it is in feafon, the female bears 

 a roe nearly as big as her body. 



\l] Thefe are of all fizes, from 3 lb. to 3001b. wt., and upwards; the fmaller-fized, or from 41b. 

 to lolb. wt., are moft approved, the overgrown ones having a difagrceable ranknefs, not to befub- 

 dued by all the arts of cooker)-. 



[;«] Tlley fhoot their roes in the middle of November. They arein general much larger than the 

 fnook, and fcem only a larger fpecies of the fea mullet, extremely refembling in form, flefh, and fla- 

 vour, thofe of Arundel in SufTcx. 



[«■) One of thefe mcafvued three feet four inches in length, from the fnout to the tail's end, and 

 irtighed 23 lb.
