150 EXTINCT HERDS. 



roasted hare. This remarkable specimen is now in the 

 museum of Dr Mathews Duncan. If, however, Ophelia 

 and Esmeralda could not be shown as heifers on account 

 of their ages, there were others who could. Columbia, by 

 Windsor 221, out of Caroline 562, won the first prize at 

 the Highland Society as a yearling ; also, along with Bella- 

 donna, by Windsor, out of Barbara 337, the first prize at 

 the local show. Columbia was next year third as a heifer 

 at Battersea, and not being a breeder, was sent to the 

 Smithfield show, where she won the first prize. There 

 were two other very beautiful heifers, calved rather late 

 in 1860, both by Druid 225, one Kassandra, from Kath- 

 leen 330 ; and the other Perdita 848, from Princess Philo- 

 mel 269. Both these were sold at the sale in 1861. Kas- 

 sandra was bought by the late Mr Paterson, Mulben, in 

 whose possession Mr Carnegie saw her in 1866, a very 

 -handsome cow. She has left no recorded descendants. 

 Perdita 848 was sold to the late Mr Walker, Portlethen, 

 and seems to have done well with him, as the celebrated 

 Palmerston 374 was a descendant of hers. Of the bulls 

 calved in 1860, Delaware 457 has been mentioned already. 

 The only other noteworthy one was Diodorus, the third- 

 prize two-year-old at the Battersea show. He was by 

 Windsor 221, out of Dora 333, and was afterwards sold to 

 go to Denmark. 



In 1861 was calved Eosetta, by Druid 225, out of Eose- 

 bud 460, the first prize yearling at Battersea, and second 

 two-year-old at the Highland Show ; and Quadroona, by 

 Windsor 221, out of Balwyllo Queen 445, the first-prize 

 Highland Society's two-year-old heifer. The latter was 

 fed, being no breeder, and won first prizes at Birmingham 

 and Smithfield shows. Thalia 1233, by Druid 225, out of 

 Thetis 568, was also a nice heifer, but was spoiled by hav- 

 ing a calf when little more than a year old. Thalia 1233 

 was the mother of the Easter Tulloch bull, Theodore 393, by 

 Jupiter 471. Of the bull calves of that year, Damascus
