fawn, frequently, in the case of the reddish phase, 
associated with a larger or smaller amount of white, 
especially on the limbs and under-parts. Round the 
muzzle (which should be either buff or flesh-coloured) 
and eyes the hair is usually whitish or yellowish. 
The hoofs ought to be of an amber tint, more or less 
nearly resembling that of the horns. In constitution 
Guernseys are less delicate than Jerseys ; and, as 
already mentioned, they are somewhat less exclusively 
of the dairy type. 
Both Jerseys and Guernseys (Alderneys) were first 
introduced into America in the year 1818, when 
consignments of both were received in Pennsylvania. 
For a long period special laws have been in force in 
Jersey for maintaining the purity of the breed of 
cattle.
