10 ERICA. 



This strain is still represented at Benton and else- 

 where. From Easter was also bred, at Bradley Hall, 

 Egesta 19979, which passed to Finnstown (Ireland), and 

 was sold in her sixteenth year with some of her progeny 

 at the dispersion of that herd in September 1907, going 

 to Kilquade and elsewhere. 



Erica 4th in 1877 passed at 101 guineas to Cor- 

 tachy, and bred there Emerald of Airlie 3878, sold at the 

 Cortachy Sale in 1882 for 500 guineas ; also Erica of 

 Cortachy 13274, a grandson of which was Epigram of 

 Cortachy 8292, a successful stock bull in the Tedfold 

 herd. This strain is still represented at Cortachy, and 

 also at Maisemore, Auchorachan, Hyde Hall, and in other 

 herds.

 the H.A.S. Show, and was the dam of the bull Etonian 

 1658, sire of the famous bull Iliad 2843, and is repre- 

 sented through her daughters : 



I. Eva 98*, 2nd at the H.A.S. Shows 1876-7, from 

 which was bred, amongst others : 



(i) Eveline 3372, a prolific breeder at Ballindalloch 

 up to her I7th year, of whose daughters may be men-
