Pedigree Records. 



For the pedigree records printed loose leaf sheets of uniform 

 size (5x8 inches) were used. These sheets are made by the J. 

 C. Moore Co.. and are adapted to their type of binder. The 

 sheets are readily removed or inserted when desired but at other 

 times they are securely held in place. For the pedigree records 

 proper, two forms are used. These are known respectively as 

 the "Individual Description Record" and the "Mating Record."
