This race was described from specimens exhibited by the Royal 

 Agricultural Society of Mondsee, Upper Austria, and by Prince 

 Schwarzenberg, of Postelberg, in Bohemia. The Society's cattle 

 evidently belonged to a small race, and were of uniform dark 

 brown colour, with a lighter streak along the spine ; muzzles 

 dark, with a light ring around them, nice horns, and sweet-look- 

 ing heads and faces. The bull was inclined towards black. 



Prince Schwarzenbergs cattle varied from black to a rich dark 

 brown, a yellow brown, and a red brown. They were light 

 coloured inside the ears, and around the muzzle, and each had 

 a narrow lighter stripe along the spine. They were thickset, 

 long, and low, witli l)lack noses. These cattle are principally 

 esteemed for their milking properties.
