in the Breeds of Sheep, 95 



for selecting and spreading the most approved breed of fine 

 wool led sheep, by which Merinos are meant, throughout the 

 different countries which are known to be well adapted to 

 their cultivation. 



So tempting a motive for contributing my mite to the re- 

 pertory of a Society, justly celebrated for the extension of 

 human knowledge and improvements, and which has done 

 me the honour to enrol my name in their number, was not 

 to be resisted ; and the less, as it affords me occasion of pre- 

 senting, at the same time, the homage of high respect for 

 their President, with which I have the honour to be. 



Sir, your most obedient servant, 



D. HUMPHREYS.
