THE EMILY AND OTHER FAMILIES. 163 



mous heifer, but grew into a very patchy cow. Alice of 

 Balwyllo 463, by Rob Eoy 56, was sold as a yearling at the 

 Powis sale; and Pearl 714, by Eob Eoy 56, was bought 

 by Mrs Scott for 25 guineas at the Balwyllo sale. Pearl 

 was pretty good, and was a great milker. A daughter of 

 Pearl's, Clematis, by Sir William Wallace 303, was sold 

 to the Duke of Buccleuch for 49 guineas, being the high- 

 est-priced yearling at the sale. I did not myself think 

 her the best, and she had scurs. 



The Emily of Balwyllo Family. Emily of Balwyllo 

 421, by the Ardestie-bred Richmond 6, from old Balwyllo 

 blood, produced the bull West Australian 204, by Pre- 

 sident 205. This bull was taken to Ireland by Lord 

 Lurgan. Emily of Balwyllo had also two heifers Young 

 Emily 425, by President 205, and Lady Jane 440, by 

 President 2nd 54. The former never, that I knew, threw 

 any first-rate stock, but the latter was a prize-winner as 

 a heifer, and though patchy behind, was from the hooks 

 forward a most magnificent cow. Lady Jane had one 

 daughter, Eosebud 460, by Eob Eoy 56, who much re- 

 sembled her dam, though rather worse in front and better 

 behind. Eosebud 460 was bought by the Earl of Southesk 

 at the Powis sale for about 70 guineas; but though she had 

 several calves, I do not think she has any living descend- 

 ants. Lady Jane had two bull calves entered in the 

 < Herd Book,' viz., Sir William Wallace 308, by President 

 3rd 246, and Tioneer 326, by Noble 245. The latter bull 

 was in the possession of Mr Whyte, Spott. 



Other Families. At the time of the dispersion sale in 

 1863, there were several good animals of other families, 

 but none that I recollect as calling for special notice, ex- 

 cept perhaps the very neat cow Gem 719, bought by 

 the Earl of Southesk for 40 guineas, and her pretty 

 daughter Angelica, bought by Sir George Macpherson 

 Grant. There were also the old Kinnaird-bred cow Ada 

 338, her daughter Adela 849, and Hortensia ; also a very
