Family 4. 



This family sliows a considerable amount of unsoundness, more 

 particularly in the descendants of 4.1, which is the main representative, 

 and 32 per cent, unsoundness is revealed in his progeny, as hereunder : — 



Table showing Unsoundness in Family 4. 



It is possible that a considerable amount of this unsoundness has 

 been introduced through the female side, for in the first branch of the 

 family, through 4.11, we find : — 



4.1112 was from a mare by a son of 22. 



4.11151 was from a mare by a son of 22.1, and the granddam by 

 the same son of 22 as in the preceding pedigree. 



In other branches — 



4.124 was from a mare by 2.1, and the granddam was by 1. 



4.125 was from a mare by 22. 



4.1271 was from a mare by a grandson of 3. 



4.1315 was from a mare by 22. 



4.12641 was from a mare by a grandson of 1. 



4.12645 was from a mare by a grandson of 1. 



4.12911 was from a mare by 17.2211, which was sound, but whose 



sire was unsound. 

 4.12917 was from a mare by a grandson of 3, and the granddam 



was by 22. 

 4.13121 was from a mare by a son of 22. 

 4.13162 was from a mare by 1.1. 

 4.128115 was from a mare by 3.101. 



Consequently, in a large number of cases, at least it can be shown 

 that the chief cause for unsoundness was present with the dams, if they 

 were not actually responsible for its introduction into the family.
