LLAMA. 
naeus, is the Camel of Peru. It has an almost 
even back, a small head, and fine black eyes, 
ilt's neck, which is very long, bends greatly; 
and, on the breast, there is a considerable pro- 
tuberance, kept naturally moist, near the junc- 
!tion with the body, by a greasy exudation. In 
: a tame state, it is cloathed with smooth short 
ihair; but, when wild, the hair is long and 
coarse. The colours vary greatly. Father 
iBlas Vallera, whose account seems to be 
adopted by BufFon, as he remarks that the cat - 
tle of Peru are divided into a large and a 
fimaller kind, and so mild, that children use 
them as they please, says that the tamed Hua- 
nacus — or Llamas, as he evidently means — 
are of different colours, and the wild kind are 
all of a bay brown. " These animals," he 
adds, " are about the height of a stag ; and 
resemble the Camel, only they want the 
bunch, and their neck is long and smooth. 
BufFon says, the Llama is about four feet high; 
it's body, including the neck and head, being 
five or six feet long. The tall is very vshort, 
not exceeding eight inches. The cars, which 
ihc animal moves at pleasure, are four inches 
in length. It has no cutting or canine teeth
