Honoured Sir, 
TH E other day I dined with a Neighbouring Gen* 
tleman ( Sir Willtam Lowther ) where I met 
with fomething that to us feemed Remarkable : He had 
this Year an Ewe that had two Lambs, an3 ftie dying, 
left them young to Ihifc for themfelves ; one of them 
was entertained by a Weather Sheep ( aries caflratm ) 
amongft above an Hundred other Sheep : The Lamb 
fuckt the Weather, and brought him to Milk, and was 
maintained by him all this Summer, till about a Month 
ago that he was weaned. The Weather was brought up 
to us, and we faw his Udder, each fide whereof was 
about the bignefs of a Hens-Egg, and he had two con- 
fiderable Teats. I fuw Milk fpurted out of them, to 
a yard or two's diftance, nocwithftanding the Lamb had 
been taken from him fo long, ^c.
