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

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

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

 substituted for the Hteral abbreviations, " gr. gr.'* Should this, as it 

 is hoped, be found to read altogether easy and inteUigible, the Editor 

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

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

 of them with the " &c." that has hitherto been occasionally employed.
