and West Flanders and the Province of Antwerp. 
There is much variation in colour, blue-grey being 
most numerous, but many examples are pied red, 
white, black and white, and even roan. The hair is 
short, and the skin in the case of white individuals 
shows through, giving a flesh-coloured pinkish ap- 
pearance. The second type comprises the race du 
Coudron, which includes the environs of Namur. 
Here the shortness of the head indicates shorthorn 
blood. The colour varies enormously, blue-pied, red- 
pied, black-pied being common, though the pre- 
dominant shade is blue. The race du Pays de Herve, 
the third type, is smaller, and nearly always black 
and white, which as the country lies on the frontier 
of Germany indicates an infusion of foreign blood. 
The race Ardennaise, the fourth type, does not differ 
greatly from the preceding, though there is greater 
variety of colour. In the race Campine, which comes 
from a sandy and poor soil, the prevalent colour is 
red or light brown. These cattle are small and slight, 
scarcely bigger than Jerseys, but by no means so 
neatly built, the head being rather clumsy. The 
sixth, or Flanders, type possesses distinct features. 
The colour is reddish brown, mostly dark, with 
occasional light brown. Out of fifty-six contributed 
by Flanders to a show in 1910, there were only four 
exceptions to this red - brown colour, two being 
spotted on the head with white, one red-roan, and 
the other red-pied. A bull stood over five feet at the 
withers, and was not unlike the Welsh bull in general 
appearance. 
Among the breeds of France and Germany it must 
suffice to allude to the Vosges cattle of Alsace-Lor- 
raine, the remarkable peculiarities of which have
