$5.00
In the year 1774, a ram was exhibited at the fair of St. Germain, as a ram of the Cape of Good Hope; but it was found that it had been purchased at Tunis, and although considered it to be of the same species as the Barbary sheep, due to the difference in the shape of its head, it was called the ram of Tunis.
