160 IMPORTATIONS. 



who was landed on the 20th day of July. She 

 unfortunately died the same season. On the second 

 of December arrived the bull Rob Roy, about two 

 and a half years old. 



In 1839, on the 27th of July, his third importa- 

 tion arrived, consisting of the yearling bull Roscoe, 

 the four-year-old cow Swinley, and the yearling 

 heifer Daisy. The cow Swinley dropped a heifer 

 calf, Maggie, March 20, 1840, which was sold in 1846 

 to the Massachusetts Society for Promotion of Agri- 

 culture. The heifer Daisy died in September, 1811. 



His fourth importation arrived May 26, 1*41, con- 

 sisting of the five-year-old cow Crummie, who 

 dropped a bull calf Wallace, February 2, 1842, and 

 the heifer Daisy. This second Daisy was sent to 

 Capt. Randall as a present by Lawrence Drew, her 

 breeder, on hearing of the loss of the former Daisy. 



In 18 4, Capt. Randall made his fifth and last 

 importation, consisting of the cow Medal, which ar- 

 rived September 22, and in the following April gave 

 birth to twins, Sandy and Jeanie. 



Capt. Randall's stock was mostly bred by Law- 

 rence Drew, a Scotch breeder well known for his 

 success. They were probably of the best, and the 

 records of these and their descendants were kept 

 with great apparent accuracy and neatness. 13 

 1840 In 1840 Capt. Ezra Nye, of Clinton, N. J., seems 

 to have imported a cow, Nan, 14 from the Duke of 

 Portland's estate, Ayrshire. 



18 We desire to express here our thanks to Mr. Haskell, of New Bedford, for 

 being allowed to take a copy of Capt. Randall's herd book.
