256 PRINCIPLES OF STOCK-BREEDING. 



It is stated, on the authority of Mr. William Good- 

 win, veterinary surgeon to her Majesty, that " several 

 of the mares in that establishment" (royal stud at 

 Hampton Court) " had foals in one year, which were 

 by Actseon, but which presented exactly the marks of 

 the horse Colonel, a white hind-fetlock, for instance, 

 and a white mark or stripe on the face ; and Actaeon 

 was perfectly free from white. The mares had all 

 bred from Colonel the previous year." 1 



" A colt, the property of the Earl of Suffield, got 

 by Laurel, so resembled another horse (Camel) that it 

 was whispered, nay, even asserted, at Newmarket, that 

 he must have been got by Camel. It was ascertained, 

 however, that the only relation which the colt bore to 

 Camel was, that the latter had served his mother the 

 previous season." a 



Mr. George T. Allman, of Tennessee, gives the 

 following case, that came under his own observation : 

 " I bred a bay mare, black points, to Watson, a son of 

 Lexington, who is a golden chestnut, large star, both 



the results in each case being the same. As the mare belonging to 

 Lord Morton, that was covered by a quagga, was afterward sent to Sir 

 Gore Ousely, and produced colts by a black Arabian horse, the two 

 cases are readily resolved into one. (See Darwin's " Animals and Plants
