Domefticated cattle are capable of enduring very rigorous cli- 
mates ; Cows are kept at Quickjock in Lecha Lapmark, not far from 
the arctic circle ; but they do not breed there, the fucceffion being 
preferved by importation : yet in Iceland, a fmall portion of which 
is within the circle, cattle abound, and breed as in more fouthern 
latitudes : they are generally fed with hay, as in other places ; but 
where there is fcarcity of fodder, they are fed with the fifh called the 
Sea-Wolf, and the heads and bones of Cod beaten fmall, and mixed 
with one quarter of chopped hay: the cattle are fond of it, and, what 
is wonderful, yield a confiderable quantity of milk. It need not be 
faid that the milk is bad.. 
Kamtfchatka, like America, was in equal want of every domeftic ani- 
mal, except a wolf-like Dog, till the Rafians of late years intro- 
duced the Cow and Horfe. The colts and calves brought from the 
north into the rich paftures of Kamt/chatka, where the gras is high, 
grow to fuch a fize, that no one would ever fufpect them to be de- 
fcended from the Ponies and Runts of the Leva *. The Argali, the 
{tock of the tame Sheep, abounds in the mountains, but even to this 
time are only objects of chafe.. The natives are to this hour as un- 
cultivated as the good Evander defcribes the primary natives of.

Sed rami atque afper victu venatus alebat.
