BATH AND WEST OE ENGLAND ASSOCIATION. 
The Somerset and Dorset breed, with their long white curly 
horns and white wool, were well represented, and they readily 
reminded one of the first lamb of the season, for producing which 
their value is great, and fully appreciated in this neighbourhood 
and the Isle of Wight. There were, too, some Exmoor sheep, which 
have a similar form as regards horn and frame, but as they have 
apparently been on the high hill-sides of the moor after which they 
are named, they are very small. According to Mr. Tucker, in the 
Strand, there is no sweeter mutton than they produce, and they 
live where nothing else except goats would exist. They are, there¬ 
fore, worthy of the position in which they stood at the Society’s 
show, which embraces their native ground.
