CASHMERE GOAT, 4:7D zrs IMPORTATION

INTO FRANCE.

(From a Memoir read before the Royal Academy of Sciences).
The sight of these shawls, which are brought from Asia, and
which spread all over Europe, make a part in the presents of the
Sovereigns of the.. Fast, and adorn the heads and waists of the
rich inhabitant, of those countries, gave rise to the questicei
among the naturalists of Europe, wbat species of animal produced
the material from which such precious stuffs were made. Tra-
vellers gave no satisfactory information upon this eu'ojeet. The
general opinion was, that Cashmeres were produced lions a goer,
but the particular species was not determined. The importation
which has just bet•n made clears up, in part, this difficulty, for
these animals produce a down exactly like that of which the
i most rare shawls are made; I say in part, because it is not im-
possible that wool may be also employed for this purpose, or that
different kinds of the goat may unite so bring the manufacture to
perfection. I shall describe particularly those which I have seen
upon their arrival at two of our Mediterranean ports. Their usual
I height is about. 2.3 inches from the ground to the top of the back,
and the length from the begriming of the tail to the head, three
feet. Almost all have borne, which are straight, black, and for
the most part round; those of some male% as well as females,
are thick, furry, white in the majority of individuals, some brown
or black, several spotted. They are fornted of long hairs, which
cover the legs in part, and a very soft down. The latter is fine in
proportion as tlii hair is long ; the quality of one may be known
from the other. This down grows near the skin, from which it
separates and forms tufts, which can be drawn away by a comb
or by the hand. Except in the case of an absolute prohibition,
it appears as if oar manufacturers could have no interest in im-
porting these downy cashmere goats into France, for the mate-
rial may he procured in the way of commerce : it would be suf-
ficient fir them to imitatc the stuff which bears this name. M.
Temaux, so well known llp his beautiful establishments, was not
of this opinion. Ile bad received, by the way of Russia, down
enough to make some shawls • his success gave him the idea of
procuring the animal on whose body nature had placed this
down. The undertaking was not an easy one. He found in
M. Jaubert, Master of Requests, and Professor of the Turkish.
language, a man of zeal and intelligence, who was not to be re-
pulsed by obstacles, arid who was much attached to this coun-
try. This Gentleman had already travelled in the Levant, and
could make himself understood among the different natiens. lie
was willing to undertake the expedition.
In order to obtain the protec • of Government, N. Ternamt
presented him to the Duke of Richelieu, then Minister of Fo-
reign Affairs. This Minister, who acknowledged the utility of
the project, made contract with Ternaux and Jatibet t, in the came
of the King, by which Ternaux was to receive a premium of en-
couragement if the expedition succeeded. The Government was
to take 100 goats at a high price. In consequence of this, Jaubert
left Paris in April, 1318, recommended by the Duke of Riche-
lieu to the notice of the Emperor of Russia. This Sovereign or-
dered, that the French traveller should be furnished with every
facility he needed. Jaubert went first to Odessa, Tungarock,
and Astracan, to the camp of General Jermoloff, under the Cate.
casus, taking everywhere information front the Boukars respect- •
ing the Kirghiz and the Armenians, who frequent and inhabit the
last of the cities. He was informed that there existed among the
numerous hordes of Kirghiz (a wandering people who came into
,11ouk aria ), on the butders of the Oueal, a species of goat which was
almost always of a dazzling whiteness, and which bore every
year, in the month of June, a remarkable fleece. The samples
shewn him convinced him of the conformity of this down with
that which came fnto France by the way of Russia. The disco-
very was the more interesting to him, as it saved his time and a
troublesome journey in crossing Into Thibet, by Persia and. Cash-
mere. Ile was not deceived, arid in some hundred versts from the
Wolga, In the middle of the Steppes, which separated Astracan
from Oremhurgh, he found thick down, Which convinced him he
would not find it necessary to go much Luther. Ile also remarked
they gave them the name of Thibet goats, in the language of the
country, when they spoke of them. He then made his purchases,
buying different lots among the Kirghiz of the horde called Car;
Agedi (the black tree), among the Kirghiz of the horde called
Kaiskas, in all 1229 beasts. He directed his troop towards Tza-
ritzin, where he passed the river %Volga. The season became
severe, and the mortality among the goats was very great. He
had formed a plan of embarking them at Tunearock, but the sea
of Azoff was frozen. He was obliged to go along the coast with
them to Theoelosia or Cassa. He arrived there the 24th of Dee
cember, after haling lost MI of his animals. The 14th of Fee
bruary he sent, in a Russian vessel, the only one he coulclpro-
cure, .586, together with some All't Sir:, p, tinder the care of
a French supercargo. The vessel arrived at Marseilles towards
the month of April : Jaubert had preferred not to come until he
could bring the second troop, whit:ldle did not choose to leave
behind..--lt results from the experiment aJaultert and Ternauxe
that front 1229 goats bought Among Kirghiz, deducting all the
losses which have taken place, there are at present in France
.1 400 downy goats of Cashmere.
