The first volume of the American Aberdeen- Angus Herd Book was 

 published in 1886 the two main requisites for record being: (i) The 

 animal itself or its sire and dam must be recorded in the 8th or 

 prior volumes of the Polled Aberdeen or Angus Herd Book of Scotland. 

 (2) The animal must be the produce by registered sire of a cow that 

 has produce in the 8th or prior volumes of the Polled Aberdeen or 

 Angus Herd Book of Scotland. Thos. McFarlane, Harvey, 111., is the 

 present efficient secretary of the association. The illustrations of both 

 Galloways and Angus represent excellent specimens of their re- 

 spective breeds, and will well repay a careful study.
