MODERN CONTINENTAL CATTLE 119 
prevalence of black elsewhere. Black and white is 
the invariable colouring ; and in connection with this 
it may be noticed how the white areas tend to arrange 
themselves along the lines of the limbs, extending in 
the front pair as high up as the shoulder-blade, and 
in the hind-quarters to the pelvis. This, however, is 
a feature of frequent occurrence in albinistic animals. 
Red may, however, in some instances replace the 
black ; and in certain parts of Holland red and white 
is maintained as the colour of particular herds. In 
size these cattle run very large. 
Although the breed appears to be unknown in 
England, it meets with considerable favour in the 
United States, where it was introduced — notably in 
the neighbourhood of New York — by the early Dutch 
settlers. Black and white is the colour of the 
American herds. 
Denmark has two chief breeds of cattle, namely, 
the Jutland, confined to the mainland, and' the red 
Danish, which is indigenous to the islands, such as 
Funen and Zealand, but also occurs in southern 
Jutland. The Jutland breed is usually black and 
white, but occasionally grey and white, its colour 
and general appearance suggesting affinity with the 
Holstein-Friesian stock, although there is no historical 
evidence of its origin. As its name implies, the red 
Danish is wholly red in colour ; it appears to be a 
cross between the native stock of the islands and the 
Angler (from Angeln in Schleswig) and other cattle 
imported from Schleswig. The red Danish was 
always a dairy breed, and of late years the Jutland 
cattle, which were formerly a beef-stock, have been 
modified for the same purpose. A full account of 
Danish cattle is given by Professor Rasmussen in
