lo Nov., 1908.] Victorian Cattle for India. 667 



The bulls sent varied in age from twelve months to two years. All 

 the females were in calf to pedigree bulls, the bulk of them carrying 

 their second calf ; none were past the third caTf . 



The Chief Veterinary Officer expresses the opinion that the consign- 

 ment will afford an opportunity, if judicious crossing is resorted to, of 

 definitely establishing the Ayrshire breed on a high level in India ; so 

 many lines of blood being represented in the consignment, and all these 

 of excellent strains, whose merits have been established here for some 

 years, and definitely proved both by show-ring and milking records. 

 Very laudator}- comments have appeared in the stock press concerning this 

 shipment of cattle ; it being considered that such a representative lot 

 has been sent as will tend to promote further trade between India and 

 Victoria in pedigree stock. The enterprise of the Government of India 

 in this regard has also been the subject of favorable comment. 



That the consignment was a typical and representative one will be 

 gathered from the snapshot illustrations published herewith, and from a 

 perusal of the subjoined particulars of the shipment: —
