PEDIGREE. 351 



within marks of parenthesis ( ) refer to " The English 

 Herd-Book," as in the above examples ; while the 

 numbers of "The Canadian Herd-Book" are placed 

 within brackets [ ]. 



When numbers refer to Alexander's " Short-Horn 

 Record," the method of distinguishing them is usually 

 mentioned in connection with the pedigree. 



In the Devon, Jersey, and Ayrshire herd-books, 

 the females, as well as the males, have a distinguish- 

 ing number. 



For the convenience of those who are not familiar 

 with recorded pedigrees, examples showing the form 

 of record in the different herd-books will be found in 

 the Appendix.
