*^* To save space, and too constant repetition, a slight alteration has 

 been made in printing the pedigrees of the Cows. After the great 

 grandain, it will be observed, a blank or hyphen, thus — , has been 

 substituted ibr the literal abbreviations " gr. gr." Should this, as it 

 IS Loped, be lound to read altogether easy and intelligible, the Editor 

 purposes to adopt ii more generally in future, as the space so spared 

 enables him to give all the pedigrees in full, instead of finishing many 

 of liiem with the '• Sec.''' that has hitherto been occasionally employed.
