NOTE II.

Page 217--line 4 "--had design'd to build a sheep-fold." etc. It

may be proper to inform some readers, that a sheep-fold in these

mountains is an unroofed building of stone walls, with different

divisions. It is generally placed by the side of a brook, for the

convenience of washing the sheep; but it is also useful as a shelter

for them, and as a place to drive them into, to enable the shepherds

conveniently to single out one or more for any particular purpose.
