and it is even said that the progeny are not bar- 
ren. 
Another variety is thus described by Mr. Pen- 
nant : 
(£ Sheep with the hair on the lower part of the 
cheeks and upper jaws extremely long, forming a 
divided or double beard ; with hairs on the sides 
and body short ; on the top of the neck longer, 
and a little erect. The whole under part of the 
neck and shoulders covered with coarse hairs, not 
less than fourteen inches long. Beneath the hairs 
on every part was a short genuine wool, the ru- 
diments of a fleecy clothing. The colour of the 
breast, neck, back, and sides, a pale ferruginous. 
Tail very short. Horns close at their base, re- 
curvated, twenty five inches long, eleven in cir- 
cumference in the thickest place, diverging,' and 
bending outwards, their points being nineteen 
inches from each other. 
Mr. Pennant observed that the learned Dr, 
Kay, or Caius gives a good description of this ani- 
mal from a specimen brought into England from 
Barbary in the year 1561. Dr. Kay named it 
tragelaphus on a supposition of its being the same 
with the trogelapus of Pliny. 
Pudu. 
This is a newly discovered species, having been 
first described by Molina in the Natural History 
of Chili. 
He informs us that it is a native of the Andes, 
that it is of a brown colour, about the size of a 
kid of half a year old ; with very much the ap- 
pearance of a goat, but with small smooth horns, 
bending outwards, and without any appearance of 
beard. It is of a gregarious nature ; and when 
the snow falls on the upper parts of the mountains.
