THE LLAMA. 
Liama PERUVIANA. Cvv. 
In common with the Camels, the Llamas are distin- 
guished from all other Ruminating animals chiefly by 
the absence of horns, by the structure of their feet, and 
by their mode of dentition, in all of which these two 
closely allied groups very nearly correspond with each 
other. In their general form there is also some simila- 
rity ; but the latter are much lighter in their proportions, 
and far more lively and spirited in their motions. They 
exhibit no traces of the clumsy and unsightly humps 
which disfigure the backs of the former, and their necks 
and limbs, of greater comparative length, appear to be far 
less oppressed by the superincumbent weight of the head
