IV. On the Pūrik Sheep of Ladakh; and some other Animals, principally of the of the Sheep and Goat kind: with general Observations on the Country of Ladakh, &c

Abstract

In Calcutta, you desired that I would procure, and send to you, some Sheep of the Isle of Ormus, should it be in my power; which, however, it has not been. This circumstance impressed me with an idea of your conceiving the introduction of that animal into Great Britain, likely to prove beneficial to her agricultural and manufacturing concerns; and, by a natural inference, leads to a belief, that a communication respecting the domestic animals of a country, new to Europeans, may not be wholly without interest.
