that the name of the stallion, and not that of the lot, 

 was intended to be given), hence it is probable that 

 the sires were removed and kept at some other 

 place at the time this inventory was taken. A valua- 

 tion of each lot is given — the whole amounting 

 to ^1982, or an average of not quite 14 guineas per 

 head. 



There is no doubt whatever that many of those 

 lots were immediately descended from the Digby 

 and Villiers Arabs previously referred to, of which the 

 latter had been imported by James I. towards the latter 

 end of his reign. Let us take a few instances : (Lot 5) 

 " Black Morocco. One Black mare with a few white 

 haires in the forehead, 5 yeares old, with a horse foale, 

 ^22." (Lot 9) " Morocco. One brown bay mare 

 with a starre, two white heels behind, 12 yeares old, 

 with a horse foale, ^25." (Lot 24) " Young Morocco. 

 One bay mare without white, 4 yeares old, with a 

 horse foale, ^16." (Lot 35) " Black Morocco. One 

 black mare without white, 10 yeares old, ^10." (Lot 

 52) " Morocco. One browne bay horse with a little 

 Starr, 5 yeares old, ^30." Here we see the same 

 name given to lot 9 and lot 52, the former a 12 year 

 old mare, the latter a 5 year old horse, by which it is 

 evident that the stallion, and not the name of the lot 

 in the inventory (as in a modern Tattersall catalogue), 

 was intended to be given. " Browne Newcastle " 

 likewise precedes lot 6 and lot 22, the former a 

 " browne bay mare without white, 6 yeares old, with 

 a mare foale, ^15;" and the latter a " browne bay 

 mare without white, 7 yeares old, with a mare foale,
