A letter from the Duke of Bedford, President of
the Society, having been read, in which his Grace
expresses his regret, that he round it impossible to
be present at the anniversary: 'Flue Chaim,. in was
directed to return a suitable acknowledgment.
Lord Somerville's very interesting report, contain-
ing a particular statement of work, performed by
Oxen on his Lordship's farm in the year ISO S, hav-
ing been presented and read, the Chairman was
unanimously requested to convey the Thanks of the
Society to Lord Somerville, for this valuable com-
munication; and to express his sincere regret, on
account of his Lordship's inability to be present at
the anniversary.
Dr. Parry read to the Society a Memoir contain-
ing the result of thirteen years experience on his
Flock of Sheep, which are a mixed breed between
the Merino and Ryeland. This subject he compre-
hended under the nine following Propositions :
I, The Wool of the South Crow of its breed IS tulle equal
in fineness to that of the mate parent stock in England.
2. By breediug Igor; select cross tred Rime and Ewes of this
stock, ahem may be ootaininl, the fleeces of which are supm
nor in fmeiicss both to these of the cross-bred parents, and, or
course to those of the iiriginal pmgenitors of the pore blood m
England.
J. From mixed Rams of this Wised, Sheep may be obtained,
havirm Wool at least equal in fineneo to the best whirls earl be
procured from Spam.
4 Wsd from Sineep of a proper modification of Merton
an I k eland, will make cloth equal to Vial from the Sionista
Wool imported into this country.
The pmipotloii of fine Wool in the Refissm of this cross-
breed is equal,lf not superior, to that of the best Spanish pda.
G. 'this 00l prolialsty goes :antler m tfie mariufact-re,
than an equal weight of imported Spanish, of the same degree
of cleanness.
7. The lamb.' Wised of this crom.breed w:11 make finer
cloth thug the best that ash, pure %Serino breed.
6. Should long Wool of ins, degree of fineness be wanted
for hhanls, or any manufactures, which cannot be perfected
with our ciainmon coarse long Wools, this may probably be
elected by allowing the fleece to remain an she .uainial unshorn
for two years.
9 There can be nn doubt, that this cross, which is already

much i:ndroveil in CAMAS!, consoaratively with the :I,l*.:ino,
Migittall! imported, will, in a short time, he f.,•:y .qsl in
that reveet, to the l,e,t of the native breeds 01 o •oalled
S:iecp in Enghad.
Dr. Parry having established these propositions
by various exhibitions of wool, cloth, and stock;
the particular thanks of the society were unani-
mously voted to him, for his unremitting and suc-
cessful exertions, in promoting an object so import-
ant to the interests of this country. The Doctor
was called in, and received the thanks from the
Chair. The Chairman was requested to transmit
to him a copy of the rote of thanks, and to commu-
nicate to the public the account of the proceedings
through the channel of the periodical papers.
The recommendation of the Committee, in adju-
dication of the Bedfordesn gold medal to the author
of the essay distinguished by the letters R. D. P. C.
was adopted, and on opening the cover inclosing
the real signature of the author, it was found to
have bees Arthur Young. Esq. F.R.S. The Chair.
man was therefore requested to address Mr. Young,
