Although only six months old, his tail is dragging on the ground. At maturity, it may weigh as much as forty pounds, and may have to be supported artifically, in order to enable its owner to walk. (Fig. 4.) The exhibition of a number of breeds coming from the Caucasus (Asia Minor), and resulting from crosses between fat-tails and broadtails, was very interesting indeed. Those most noteworthy were the Erik, Bozach, Mazech, Karabach, Lezgink, Osetin, Avar, Tushin, and Kjara. \Ye were told by a Tartar gentleman, A. Ayrap Kalantar, of Tiflis, that these sheep had the very best of mutton and that they could endure any amount of hardship. The broadtail class was very well represented. There were Kara- kuls, Malitches, Pirnajas, Yaloshskaja, Karachaev and Tushinskaja. Of these we purchased several, as will be explained later. The Karachaev is said to be even better than the Karakul when it comes to mutton.
