The Bastards of the ninth class have a 

 good escutcheon, but are distinguished by 

 the large tufts of coarse, bristly hair along- 

 side the vulva. 



The Tenth Class. — Horizontal. 



The first order have a 

 dandruff of yellowish 

 color ; the hair is short, 

 fine, and silky ; the es- 

 cutcheon is lower down 

 from the vulva than the 

 other classes, and is cut 

 off by a horizontal line. 

 There are two ovals on 

 the udder ; and two tufts, 

 about three and one half 

 inches long, on the sides 

 of the vulva. 



Cows of the first order 

 give thirteen quarts, and 

 milk eight months. 



The second order has a smaller escutcheon ; 

 the vulva tufts are larger, the right shorter 

 than the left ; there is but one udder oval ; 

 in several of the orders of this class there is 

 a small streak of ascending hair directly be- 

 low the vuha. 



Cows of the second order give ten quarts, 



and milk seven 

 months. 



The third or- 

 der have still 

 smaller escutch- 

 eons; larger vul- 

 va tufts, the one on the left of bristling bair, 

 four to five inches in length. The desi^end- 

 ing hair encroaches on the escutcheon on the
