THE ERICA FAMILY. 361 



Windsor 202 was the first prize-yearling heifer at the 

 show of the Eoyal Agricultural Society of England at 

 Windsor in 1851, and, besides numerous other honours, 

 won the first prize as a cow at Berwick in 1854. She 

 was the dam of two splendid bulls — ^Windsor, 221 and 

 Eob Eoy Macgregor 267, full brothers, both having been 

 after Hanton 228. These remarkable animals are re- 

 ferred to at length in connection with the Tillyfour, 

 Westertown, and Kinnaird herds. Windsor 202 is 

 represented in the female line only by stock tracing from 

 her daughter Beauty of Morlich 2072, by Angus 45. 

 This animal was sold to Mr Cran, Morlich. We know 

 little concerning her individual appearance, but good stock 

 has been bred from her. 



Another branch of the Queen tribe is that descended 

 from Victoria of Kelly 345, bred by Mr Bowie, Mains of 

 Kelly. She was out of Queen Mother 348, who went to 

 Mains of Kelly in her old age, and after Cupbearer 59. 



The Ballindalloch Ericas. 



No family of polled cattle has in recent years taken a

 excepting on two occasions. We have compiled the 

 following list of prizes gained at the Highland Society's 

 shows by specimens of this fashionable strain : —
