found only in the vicinity of Pisa. In Venetia—the seaboard 
and alpine province of Udine (the ancient Friuli)—the cattle are 
an indiscriminate mixture of all the neighbouring races—Tyrolese, 
Styrian, Carinthian, and Belanese, grafted on the local animal, 
known as Friulanci, it itself beimg one of the numerous 
varieties of a race of animals that now predominates in every part 
of Italy. 
“ This is the typical race of South-eastern Europe, which has two 
sub-divisions—first, the Hungarian-Transylvanian, and secondly, 
the Podolian-Moldere. Tyrolese oxen are first brought while 
young into the province of Brescia (Lombardy) and thence 
scattered over the plain under the name of Brescian oxen. These 
animals are short-horned, of a greyish-white colour, and have the 
characteristics of the Podolico race. They are tall and white 
skinned, and the best come from Merano and Lana, in the Tyrol. 
Oxen are also brought from Emilia into the provinces of Cremona 
and Mantua, but those of the Tyrol are preferred. 
“In northern Italy there is the Piedmontese or Carmagnolo 
race—tall of stature, short-horned, and greyish-red in colour. 
Emilia (or its northern part, about Piacenza) has a specific type, 
called Bardigiana, in colour red or mottled with white, and long- 
horned. 
“In the plain towards Parma, the Reggiana or Parmense race is 
found. These animals are regarded as the type of the large races 
bred on the central plains of Europe, but the uniformity of their 
red coat, without marks, and the thick, short-limbed body, are 
considered proof of its antiquity. Italian zoologists assert that 
it is descended from the ancient bwe Ltalico. In the Udine 
province, and in parts of Parma and Piacenza, there is a breed 
with a uniform coat of red or reddish-brown, amber-coloured 
horns and hoofs, rose-tinted lip and nostrils, and white eyelids, 
and they are regarded as the relic of an aboriginal race. 
“South of the Taro, and extending beyond Bologna, is the 
Pugliese breed. In the province of Verona the Pugliese breed is 
almost exclusively found. In the province of Belluno there is 
the Bellunese breed, which is like the Tyrolese in having short 
curved horns and a uniform colour, but while the shade of the 
Tyrolese is tawny and whitish, the Bellunese is decidedly grey. — 
“Tn the province of Treviso there is a medley of sub-races, all
