go THE WILDGOA T, &c. 



With regard to the fpecinx virtue attributed 

 to the blood of the wild goat, again (l certain 

 difeafcs, and particularly the pleurify, a virtue 

 which is thought to be peculiar to this animal, 

 and which, of courfe, would lead us to think it 

 to be of a peculiar nature j it lias been discover- 

 ed, that the blood of the chamois *, and like- 

 wife that of the domeftic he-goat t, have the 

 fame properties, when the animals are nourifhed 

 with ; the fame aromatic herbs ; fo that even this 

 property feems to unite thefe three animals in 

 the lame fpecies. 



SU.P.P-LEME N T. 



We hear give a figure of a Juda buck, which 

 appears to be different from that publiihed in 

 the original work. M. Bourgelat had it alive, 



and 



the wind blows cppofite to then*, and, when a favourable op- 

 portunity occurs, fhoot them with muflcet balls. They are 

 likewife hunted in the fame manner as flags and other ani- 

 mals, by polling fome of the hunters in narrow paffages, 

 while others beat about to raife the game. Men are prefer- 

 able for fys purpofe to dogs ; for dogs too quickly dif- 

 perfe the animals, who fly off fuddenly to the diftance of four 

 or five leagues." See alfo on this fubjedt La Irpifteme defcript.
