A short note in the American Naturalist reprinting Timothy Dwight's account, from his travels of about 1798, of the Otter (Ancon) sheep of Mendon, Massachusetts. A short-legged, club-footed breed arose from twin lambs and was propagated by one farmer. The sheep were quiet, could not climb stone walls, and had wool comparable to ordinary sheep. Bristol introduces the passage for naturalists.
