Sheep-Breeding and Ancestry¹

Abstract

IN the report referred to below, Prof. Ewart first briefly reviews the facts and beliefs about sheep, and, under nine concise statements, summarises our knowledge of the origin and development of present day types. Much of the work upon which this summary is based is attributable directly to the extensive researches, extending over many years, which Prof. Ewart himself has conducted. In FigsI and 2 the results of these researches are represented diagrammatically.
