114 EXTINCT HERDS. 



and Monarch 44, calved in 1843, bought by Mr Euxton, and 

 sold by him to Mr Arklay, Bowhill, Brechin, from whom 

 he was acquired by Mr M'Conibie of Tillyfour: cows 

 Princess 47, calved in 1843, the dam of the celebrated

 longed to Mr Ferguson when in Ashmore ; Eliza 65, who
