SUOllTIIORN HEEDS OF ENGLAND. 313 



and after travelling into Leicestershire, she was purchased privately 

 from Mr. Lister along with Kirklevington 24th, but all the descen- 

 dants at Ogwell trace to the former, two of her daughters, Cherry 

 Kirklevington 2nd possessing one of the largest frames in the Park 

 and Lally Kirklevington, a good red cow, are still in the herd, but 

 still better is Baroness Kirklevington, out of an older sister, Cherry 

 Kirklevington. Mr. Seratton certainly sets a good example to other 

 breeders in the naming of this tribe, as when Lally Kirklevington is 

 bred to Baron Hillhurst 41037 a son of Third Duke of Hillhurst 

 30975 and Siddington 16th w r e find the produce is Double 

 Kirklevington 7th, a heit'er having a promising show of milk, while 

 "Winsome Kirklevington is the produce of Lord Fevevsham's Baron 

 "Winsome Oxford 45952 bought to succeed Baron Hillhurst and 

 Double Kirklevington 3rd, Cherry Kirklevington and Lally Kirk-

 Clarence 10th and Lady Clarence, the two last named are a grand 

 pair of old cows, the " numbered " one being especially deep in front. 

 Baroness Nancy, squarely built and of considerable length, excepting 

 Duchess of Clarence 10th, may be pronounced the best of the tribe 

 amongst the "thirty-two," although Lady Clarence 4th, a light roan 

 from our favourite, is a lengthy good sort, and a young roan is 

 briefly noted as " pretty." Amongst the heifers, Clara 4th, we 

 observe has a Duchess Nancy bull of Mr. Scratton's breeding for sire, 

 v>hile three calves, known as Oxford Nettles, by King of Oxford, 

 augur well for the future prosperity of the family at Ogwell, 

 which has now increased to sixteen. 



The remaining two tribes Wild Eyes and Gwynnes have a 

 much longer recorded descent than any hitherto previously 

 mentioned. Lady Wild Eyes A. and Lady Wild Eyes B., are from 

 two cows purchased at Berkeley, by those excellent sires, Grand 

 Duke of Waterloo and Second Duke of Tregunter, out of .dams by 

 Mr. Oliver's Cherry Grand Dukes, beyond are Sir Charles Knightley's
