52 THE PACA THE VIGONIA. 
two species of Llama, or two domesticated 
creatures, useful for food and clothing ; for 
he says, that ‘these animals were of great 
use and profit to their masters, particularly 
that species named Pacas, which have very 
long fleeces.’ But, in this place, the Spaniard, 
intentionally or otherwise, assuredly unites, in 
one supposed domesticated species, the several 
virtues of the domesticated animal and the 
wild; and his Paca can be no other than 
the Alpaca of Shelvocke, which is also his 
Vigonia; and of which he says, that ‘it is 
shaped much like the Llama, but much 
smaller and lighter, its wool being extraor- 
dinarily fine, and much valued.’ 
“We see, here, that the fine-woolled ani- 
mal is the Vigonia; that its figure, though 
smaller, much resembles that of the Llama; 
and in particular that, as I have recited 
from my author, the legs of the Vigonia are 
shorter even in proportion than those of 
the Guanaco, which also surpasses it, both 
in height and in fulness of body. But still, 
where is the natural stock of the Llama ?* 
* It is the Llama only, and not the Guanaco, which 
is represented in tae annexed engraving.
