But it gives me much more pleasure to kill one of his buffaloes or llamas, than it does pain me when he kills one of mine.

Two half-grown llamas, which are naturally as quiet and timid as sheep, bit each other very furiously, until they foamed at the mouth.

While he was speaking, the mastiff, being jostled by the two llamas still awkwardly worrying each other, turned round so suddenly, that the mouse was dislodged from his lofty position, and thrown to the ground; on seeing which, the cat immediately sprang upon it, with a loud purring noise, which being heard by the dog, he, with a fierce growl, suddenly seized the cat.

The llamas, alarmed at this terrific sound, instinctively ran off, and having, in their flight, approached the heels of the zebra, he gave a kick, which killed one of them on the spot.

Ruminants Camels, Llamas, Chevrotains, Giraffe, Antelopes, Sheep, Goats, Musk-ox, Oxen, Deer.

Coming now to the ruminants, all digits except the third and fourth have disappeared from camels and llamas, and the nails on these are limited to their upper surface without forming a hoof, the under side being a broad pad, upon which they tread.

We found that the Indians kept a few llamas.

There was some bunch-grass, and there were llamas pasturing on the plains.

No one lives here now, but there are many flocks and llamas, and not far away we saw ancient storehouses and burial places.

The climate is agreeable, and has attracted many landlords, whose estates lie chiefly on the bleak plateaus of the surrounding highlands, where shepherds tend flocks of llamas, sheep, and alpacas.

In the afternoon we began to descend from the plateau toward Lampa and found ourselves in the pasture lands of Ajochiucha, where ichu grass and other little foliage plants, watered by rain and snow, furnish forage for large flocks of sheep, llamas, and alpacas.

Llamas and alpacas are extremely variegated.

On the pasture lands of Ajochiucha there were many ewes and lambs, both of llamas and alpacas.

Probably the stones were picked up and piled on each side to save time in driving caravans of llamas across the stony ridges.

Millones de chispas de luz rojas y azules, verdes y amarillas, volteaban alrededor de las piedras como un torbellino de átomos de fuego, como una vertiginosa ronda de esos espíritus de las llamas que fascinan

y abriéndose paso entre las llamas, dieron fin con los habitantes de aquella guarida en un abrir y cerrar de ojos.

Nunca despliega sus labios; pero cuando la sangre humea en nuestras manos, como cuando los templos se derrumban calcinados por las llamas: cuando las mujeres huyen espantadas entre las ruinas, y los niños arrojan gritos de dolor, y los ancianos perecen á nuestros golpes, contesta con una carcajada de feroz alegría á los gemidos, á las imprecaciones y á los lamentos.

su espaldar y su cota, y aún prosigue impávido entre las llamas, buscando nuevas víctimas; desprecia el oro, aborrece la hermosura, y no le inquieta la ambición.

En tanto que las piezas arrojadas á las llamas comenzaban á enrojecerse, largos y profundos gemidos parecían escaparse de la ancha hoguera, de entre cuyos troncos saltaban como si estuvieran vivas y sintiesen la acción del fuego.

foco á los ígneos espíritus que habitan incólumes entre las llamas, y desde su ardiente seno entonan al Criador himnos de alegría.

High up and ringing the valley about was a wall, and what appeared to be a circumferential water-channel, from which the little trickles of water that fed the meadow plants came, and on the higher slopes above this flocks of llamas cropped the scanty herbage.

They told him there were indeed no mountains at all, but that the end of the rocks where the llamas grazed was indeed the end of the world; thence sprang a cavernous roof of the universe, from which the dew and the avalanches fell; and when he maintained stoutly the world had neither end nor roof such as they supposed, they said his thoughts were wicked.

But the llamas had a doubt of him and regarded him with distrustful brown eyes, and spat when he drew near.

Llamas, dromedaries, Cashmere goats, and other strange animals, are brought, thousands of miles by sea and land, to be acclimatised and domesticated to these northern countries.
