sent one of the Vice Presidents of the society, M. Richard (du Cantal), a 
distinguished zootechnist, to Algeria, between Boghar and Lagonat, in a 
region inhabited by one of the tribes most distinguished for the number

females of three to four years old, three males of four years, and one of 
seven, all in the highest condition, at a cost of 380 francs each. Four

be remarked as regards the prospect of success for this enterprize that a 
similar experiment has met with success some time since in Texas and 
Central America, the credit of which is due to Major Wayne of the 
United States Army.
