gnated by a common ram, the
increase resembles wholly either the ewe or the ram. The increase of the
common ewe impregnated by an Ancon ram follows entirely the one or
the other, without blending any of the distinguishing and essential
peculiarities of both. Frequent instances have happened where common
ewes have had twins by Ancon rams, when one exhibited the complete marks
and features of the ewe, the other of the ram. The contrast has been
rendered singularly striking, when one short-legged and one long-legged
lamb, produced at a birth, have been seen sucking the dam at the same
time."--'Philosophical Transactions', 1813, Pt. I. pp. 89, 90.]

not strictly accurate.--1870.]
