THE GUERNSEY 41 1 



other states with 11,454 Guernsey cattle registered, New York 

 ranking second with 631 1. Guernseys have a considerable foot- 

 hold in Australia and New South Wales, and a few animals have 

 been exported to France, Japan, Brazil, Cuba, Central America, etc. 

 Organizations for the promotion of Guernsey interests exist on 

 Guernsey and in England and the United States. The Royal 

 Guernsey Agricultural and Horticultural Society has for many 

 years supervised the registration and promotion of Guernseys 

 on the island. Two herdbooks are maintained — one for general 

 registration, the other for Advanced Registry. Up to 19 18 twenty- 

 nine volumes of the island herdbook had been published. The 

 English Guernsey Cattle Society was organized in 1885 and has, 

 up to 19 1 8, published thirty-five herdbooks. The American Guern- 

 sey Cattle Club was organized in 1877 in New York City and has, 

 up to 19 1 8, published about thirty-two herd registers. These were 

 for years published in book form, but in 191 3 they became a 

 part of the Guernsey Breeders Joiirnal, a semimonthly of merit 

 devoted to the advancement of the breed. Independent volumes 

 of the herdbook must now be made up from the herdbook pages 

 of this journal.
