IMPORTATIONS. 161 



In 1845, Capt. Nye appears to have made an addi- 

 tional importation of the bull Duke, 15 and probably 

 the cows Marion, Lily, and Beauty in calf with Scot- 

 land. 16 One heifer, Bessie, and four bulls, Antarctic, 

 Leopard, Juniper, and Pacific, are said to have been 

 imported by him, but we find no clew to the date. 

 Our references are certainly misleading unless there 

 were other importations at a later date than these 

 given. 17 



The importation of Capt. George Randall for this 

 year will be found noticed under date of 1838. 



In July, 1841, Capt. J. C Delano brought to New 

 Bedford a cow named Jennie Deans, and about three 

 years old. She was probably purchased partly as a 

 speculation, and in part to supply the ship with milk. 

 She was called pure, but Capt. Randall, into whose 

 possession she afterwards came, had his doubts. 



About this year it is said that some Ayrshire cat- 

 tle were imported by George Longley, of Maitland, 

 Canada. 



In 1842, Mr. E. P. Prentice, of Albany, N. Y., 

 imported a cow, Ayr by name. She dropped a heifer 

 calf on the passage, which was called Ayr 2d. 18 

 The cow is figured in the " Albany Cultivator," of 

 July, 1846. 



About this time an importation of animals, selected 

 and forwarded by Allen J. Davie, arrived in Balti- 



is A. H. B., B. 6, C. 70, 101, 570.
