194 sHoirnioRX HERDS OF ENGLAND. 



the herd numbering fifty head were sold at an average of 

 fifty and sixty pounds ; and females representing six leading tribes 

 were retained. By the addition of two Grand Duchesses from 

 Sholebroke, a seventh tribe has been added, and Grand Duchess 40th, 

 a charming red and little white daughter of Duke of Underlay 3rd 

 33103, has a son, and daughter, the former, a dark red, is now five 

 months old, and the latter, a pretty light roan by Duke of Con- 

 naughfc 3-3604, is a sweet heifer, and no doubt highly prized by her 

 owner, as being the first Duchess of Surrey. The Oxfords, are but 

 mother, and daughter. Queen of Oxford 2nd, of medium size, and

 her sire, Royal Lancaster 29870, a son of the 400 guinea Moss Rose. 

 She is the dam of a promising young bull, and Kirklevington 

 Countess 3rd, the name appropriated at Harewoods for the females, 

 while the males are known as Kirklevington Counts. Kirklevington
