260 MAMMALIA. 



Sheep of France and the short-legged Sheep of Lincolnshire, 

 mere breeds of the same kind. Some authors, as Tschudi (Fauna 

 Peruana), declare that they will not breed together, nor with the 

 wild kinds, but Lord Derby has shown at Knowsley that this is 

 not the fact. 



I am led to believe that the Lama and Alpaca are only domestic 

 races of the two preceding species, and that the Alpaca is pro- 

 bably a mule between them, for it has many characters common 

 to the two wild kinds.
