Maple Grove Netta, and by the same bull, Taurus Creamelle Hengerveld, 

 Both animals have a throat spot similar to that of their sire. It would 

 seem that Maple Grove Netta must also have this mark as a single dose. 

 She is, however, given as unmarked by the herd book. Unfortunately, 

 the Ayrshire herd books allow the record to be made as red and white 

 without giving the actual location of these marks. We can not, there- 

 fore, trace definitely the white spot. The color pedigree of Maple 

 Grove Netta is given to show the large amount of white in the pedigree 

 and also the difficulty in tracing the throat mark (Table XIII).

It is hard to do much with this pedigree in the way of tracing the inher- 

 itance of the separate white marks. The presence of a large number of 

 them is shown as many areas carried by a single animal.
