In his book on sheepfarming in New Zealand, Sir William Perry, tbe prominent Wairarapa breeder, deals with the Bomney — a breed of which he bais intimate knowledge — in this way: ' ' Tbe average Englisb Bomney is larger and1 coarser than tbe New Zealand type, tbe latter being far more suitable to conditions in tbis country. Tbere has not only been a great increase in tbe number of flocks, but also a. marked improvement in the quality of tbe sbeep; in fact, sbeep in our best flocks are equal, if not superior, to anytbing that can be produced elsewbere; tbe best sbeep have bone, constitution, symmetry, and true character equal to the best tbat can be obtained from Kent (the home of tbe brecd)^ and tbey are far ahead'in the- quality -and weigbt of their wool." ,
