148 EXTINCT HERDS. 



Flavia 376, the aDcestress of the numerous Floras and 

 Fancy s of East Tulloch, was also calved in 1858, but was 

 never exhibited. The most noteworthy of the bull calves 

 of 1858 was King Charles 236, by Druid 225, out of 

 Kathleen 339. As a calf he went to the late Mr Brown, 

 Westertown, as part payment for the bull Windsor 221. 

 Mr Brown afterwards sold him to Sir George Macpher- 

 son Grant. At BalliDdalloch he seems to have done good 

 service, as many first-class animals, both there and at 

 Advie, have his- name in their pedigree. King Charles 

 236, when seen at the Highland Society's show in Edin- 

 burgh in 1859, was a bull of immense size, girthing more 

 than the Shorthorn bulls of the same age. He also had a 

 very good head, and fioe quality. He was, however, not 

 quite a true-made bull, and Mr Carnegie was somewhat 

 disappointed with him, as, when a calf, he promised 

 to be very superior. A good bull calf by Cup-Bearer 

 59, out of Emily 332, called Ethelred 272, was scld to Sir 

 J. S. Forbes ; but we are not aware if he has left any living 

 descendants. 



In 1859 the most prominent bull calf was Black Douglas 

 311, by the Balwyllo bull President 3rd 246, out of the 

 cow Barbara 337, of the old Kinnaird stock. The late Mr 

 Collie, Ardgay, took a very great fancy to this calf, and 

 offered 80 guineas for him, which, as Windsor 221 had 

 lately been added to the herd, and consequently two in- 

 fusions of fresh blood were not wanted, was accepted. 

 Black Douglas 311 never quite fulfilled the promise of his 

 youth. He had from the first a complete aversion to oil- 

 cake; and though he got some good stock at Ardgay, 

 he did not turn out the wonder Mr Collie expected when 

 he bought him. Another bull calf of the same year was 

 Domino, a rather late calf, by Eaven 270, out of Dora 333. 

 He had small scurs, and was sold to Mr Morison of Bognie. 

 As the pedigrees in the Bognie herd were not well kept, it is 

 impossible to say if there is any of his stock left ; but from
