144 THE STUDY OF BREEDS. 



(3) Fore flank, full. 



(4) Hind flank, not thick. 



(5) Heart girth, good for the size of the animal and nearly 

 equal with the flank girth. 



(6) Underline, a little depressed. 



VIII. Hindquarters Deep and of medium 

 development. 



(1) Hips, straight on the side. 



(2) Thighs, inclining to light. 



(3) Buttocks, a little incurved. 



(4) Pin bones, of but medium distance apart. 



(5) Twist, open and placed somewhat high. 



(6) Tail, long and fine. 



IX. Udder Between oblong and rounded in 

 shape, capacious and evenly quartered, with teats of 

 good size and placed well apart. 



X. Milk Veins Large and long ; very promi- 

 nent for so small an animal, branched. 



XL Skin Fine, soft, unctuous and of a fine 

 orange tint clearly visible at the muzzle, eyes and 

 ears. 



XII. Legs Short, not coarse, and clean. 



XIII. Color The color most in favor is a 

 rich black with, in some instances a ridge of white 

 along the back and a white streak under the belly, 

 but some are black, brown, black and white and 

 brown and white. 



XIV. General Appearance Tne Kerry is a 

 neat little creature, almost if not quite as handsome 

 as the Jersey, and she carries in her appearance that 

 too infrequent combination of docility and sprightli- 

 ness of movement. 



XV. Compared with the Jersey. 



(1) The Kerry is considerably smaller and is less promi- 

 nent at the angles. 



(2) She has a finer muzzle, stronger and more upturned 

 horns, a straighter back and a slightly heavier frame for her 

 size, and 



(3) There are the differences in color.
