166 IMPORTATIONS. 



afterwards to George Morton. In 1861 owned by 

 Thomas Anthony and exhibited at New York State 

 Fair. 36 This Society imported in all five bulls, of 

 which the importations of 1855, 1856, and 1857 were 

 used in the herd of Messrs. Dawes. 



In this year, 1853, we find mention of the im- 

 portation of a cow, Advice, by J. W. Duncombe, of 

 Quebec. 37 



1854 An account of the 1854 importation of Mr. Brodie 

 will be found under the date of 1852. 



William Watson, of Westchester, N. Y., probably 

 made an importation in 1854. The cow Beith, the 

 two-year-olds Anna and Maria, were exhibited at the 

 New York State Agricultural Fair of this year. 

 Julia was probably imported in the womb, as was 

 perhaps Margaret. Oswald and Sarah were possibly 

 of this importation. 38 



There seems to have been another importation by 

 Mr. Watson, in 1858, of the cow Kate. Taurus was 

 imported, if at all, before 1861, and the cow Emily 

 before 1859, and perhaps all these may be referred 

 to this year. 39 



In 1862 Mr. Watson appears to have brought over 

 the bull Angus. 40 



In 1868 the bull Kilbirnie. 41 



Mr. Watson selected and forwarded the animals 

 which comprised the Sweetser importation of 1855.
