106 NOTES ON SOME EAilLY POLLED CATTLE. 



Monarch 44 and the Tillyfour Victors. 



The pedigrees of the bull Monarch 44 and the three 

 Victors— Victor 46, Victor 2nd 47, and Victor 3rd 193— 

 ■who figure prominently in the records of the early Tilly- 

 four cattle, have been imperfectly registered in vol. i. 

 of the ' Herd Book.' We are enabled to supplement the 

 information given in the 'Herd Book' from the private 

 catalogue of the Tillyfour herd, dated 1st January 1850, 

 for the use of which we are indebted to Mr E. C. Auld, 

 Mr M'Combie's nephew. Monarch 44, calved 1843, and 

 bred by Mr Fullerton, Ardovie, was after Panmure 51, 

 and out of Julia 671. These facts are stated in the ' Herd 

 Book.' Of Julia 671, however, no particulars are given in 

 the ' Herd Book ' entry, except that she was bred by Mr 

 Fullerton. She was got by Panmure 51, and was out of 

 Susanna, whose dam was Black Meg 766, and sire Cap- 

 tain 97. Mr Fullerton remarked that Susanna did Black 

 Meg no discredit. The three Victors were full brothers, 

 all bred by Mr M'Combie, after Monarch 44, and out of 

 Jean Ann 206. Victor 46 was calved in 1846, Victor 

 2nd 47 in 1848, and Victor 3rd 193 in 1850. 



We are aware of other incorrect entries in vol. i. ; 

 but as they are not of so vital a character as the foregoing, 

 we shall endeavour to rectify them as we refer to the 

 various herds in which the animals were produced or 

 principally used.
