HE tame Goat inhabits northern Europe as high as Wardbuys, 
in latitude 71, where it breeds, and runs out the whole year, 
only during winter has the protection of a hovel : it lives during that 
feafon on mofs and bark of Fir-trees, and even of the logs cut for 
fuel. They are fo prolific as to bring two, and even three, at a time. 
In Norway they thrive prodigioufly, infomuch that 70 or 80,000 of 
raw fkins are annually exported from Bergen, befides thoufands that 
are fent abroad dreffed. 
Goats are alfo kept in Jceland, but not in numbers, by reafon 
of the want of fhrubs and trees for them to brouze. They have been 
introduced into Greenland, even to fome advantage. Befides vege- 
table food, they will eat the 4 éic trouts dried; and grow very fat f. 
‘The climate of South America agrees fo well with Goats, that they 
multiply amazingly: but they fucceed fo ill in Canada, that it is ne- 
ceflary to have new fupplies to keep up the race f.
