3512 THE ZOOLOGIST. 
two only (Cadzow and Kilmory) are herds to be found at the 
present day. 
In England, evidence more or less convincing is adduced to 
show the former existence of wild cattle, or herds in parks, in 
twenty-eight different places, in all of which, save three, they 
have either died out (Mr. Storrer thinks from too closely 
interbreeding) or have been purposely destroyed. But in 
addition to the three parks which are now generally known 
to contain herds, viz., Chillingham, Chartley, and Lyme, we 
find, under the head of ‘The Gunton, Blickling and Wood- 
bastwick Herds (Norfolk),’—all of which are thought to have 
been derived from the ancient wild herd of Middleton, in Lan- 
cashire,—the statement that “the first of these died out some 
thirty years since; the two latter still exist, more or less pure. 
All were domesticated.” 
All these existing herds Mr. Storrer personally visited, and 
his description of these visits is very entertaining. In stating 
(at page 163) that “ Mr. H. H. Dixon (‘The Druid’) was the last 
person who published any account of the herd [Chillingham], in 
his ‘Saddle and Sirloin,’ in 1870, having seen it a few years 
previously,” both Mr. Storrer and his editor have overlooked 
the article by Mr. A. H. Cocks, which appeared in the pages of 
this journal only last year, entitled, “A Visit to the existing 
Herds of British White Wild Cattle,’* a perusal of which 
would have furnished more recent statistics than those given in 
the present volume. 
We have not space at our disposal to examine in detail 
Mr. Storrer’s arguments. Suffice it to say that, although we 
are unable to agree with him in all his conclusions, and con- 
sider that here and there he has laid too much stress upon 
merely presumptive evidence, he has, nevertheless, produced 
a book which conveys a considerable amount of information, 
collected from various sources, and which should prove almost 
as interesting to the general reader as to the professed 
naturalist.
