in commerce, the hair of a kind of goat frequent about Angria in Turkey; the inhabitants of which city are all employed in the manufacture of camlets made of this hair.

Some give the name mohair to the camlets or stuffs made of this hair: of these there are two kinds; the one smooth and plain, the other watered like tabbies; the difference between the two only consists in this, that the latter is calendered, the other not. There are also mohairs both plain and watered, whose woof is of wool, cotton, or thread.

MOHAIR-Shell, in conchology, a name given to a peculiar species of voluta, which seems of a closely and finely reticulated texture, and resembles on the surface a piece of mohair or a very close silk-worm's web.
