descent belongino^ to any good family, and then to use pure 
Booth bulls. "Guitar," one of the representatives of the G. 
tribe was sent to Queensland last year; her pedigree included 
the following pure Booth bulls : — " Prince of Warlaby " (15,107), 
"Booth Royal" (15,673), "British Prince" (14,197), "Van- 
guard" (10,994), "Crown Prince" (10,087), " Vanguard " again, 
and "Baron Warlaby" (7813), as well as " Londesborough," 
6142 (half Booth). 
At Mr. Holdsworth's sale in 1841, " Flora of Farnsfield," got 
by "Rinaldo" (4949), out of the celebrated "Formosa," a 
descendant of Robert Colling's " Sweetbrier," was purchased as 
a member of the Barmpton herd, and became the progenitor of the 
" Flower " tribe. At the present moment, its representatives have 
four and five crosses of Booth blood ; one of them, " Warlaby 
Flower," went to Canada last year, and recently " Faunist," a 
yearling bull, has been sold at a high figure. 
The matron of the " Waterloo " family, " Water Witch," was 
calved in 1843, and bought in 1845, at the Rev. T. Cator's sale. 
She was from the Norfolk cow ("Waterloo 3rd"), that used 
to be so much less liked by her owner, at Kirklevington, than 
by his visitors ; she is by " Fourth Duke of Northumberland" 
(3649), and is descended, through the " Waterloo cow," from 
the Waterloos in their best form. " Water Witch " produced 
to Mr. Torr seven females by Booth bulls ; and at present there 
are no less than 40 to be seen at Aylesby. Although the first 
cross of Bates and Booth was not pleasing, there are now a large 
number of handsome animals belonging to this tribe in Mr. 
Terr's possession ; but three fine specimens have been recently 
disposed of, to go to Canada. 
The R. and B. family was next introduced, by the purchase 
of "Rennet" in 1853, and "Blanche 2nd," in 1851, both de- 
scendants of " Rose," bred by Mr. R. Booth, of Studley. 
The Bracelet family, which was introduced by the purchase 
of " Sylphide " from Killerby, in 1852, has not laeen fortunate ; 
and at present it has no female descendant left. 
Next come the Ladies, or Sylphs, from " Lady Mary Bountiful," 
by " Baron Warlaby," out of " Lady Bountiful," and descended 
from Lord Spencer's celebrated cow, the " Woodford Sylph," 
" Lady Mary Bountiful " was bought in 1860 ; and " Lady of 
the Manor," of the same blood, by "Highflyer (11,576), out of 
" Lady Bountiful," six years previously. A member of this 
family, "Lady's Prize," is just going to Kingsfort, where many 
of her tribe have found a home for years past. 
A specimen of the Telluria family, of Wiseton descent, " Tel- 
luria 2ad," by « Horatio " (10,335), out of " Taglioni," was 
added in 1862, with a view to perpetuate the fine type of the
