DEVONSHIRE BREED.

"This is a breed or sort of sheep which is chiefly distinguished by

having no horns; white faces and legs; thick necks; backs narrow, and

back-bones high; sides good; legs short, and bones large; and probably

without any material objection, being a variety of the common hornless

sort. Length of wool much the same as in the Romney Marsh breed. It is a

breed found to be prevalent in the district from which it has derived

its name, and is supposed to have received considerable improvement by

being crossed with the new Leicester, or Dishley.
