SIR,—In the article under the above heading published in the

Spectator of June 4th the writer observes that the goats occasionally to be met with in that district are probably the most southerly of the feral goats left in England. It may perhaps interest him to know that at Bagot's Park, in Staffordshire, a herd of wild goats still exists. The animals are very shy, and visitors to Bagot's Park can by no means be sure of coming across them. I may add that the herd has been in existence since the reign of Richard II.—I am, Sir,

RICHARD BAGOT.
