It gives me 1 leasure to state that Mr, Davy has solicited Mr. S 
Howard, of the .Sos'twi CvMivator, to col’ect pedigrees and illustra- 
tion« in this country for the 3d volume, at d has authorized Mr. H. 
to obta’n i formation as to any and all m'stak s which may have 
been made as to ihe Recor ing of American Aniroa s in Davy’s Vd 
volume, and such corrections wil le made in t'^e 3d volume. The 
plan propos d is that a copy of all thf pedigrees and illustrations col- 
lec ed l y Mr. H , as the Edit w in America, shall be forwarded .to Mr 
Davy, and a copy of those collected by Mr. D will be sent to Mr. 
Howard in this country. The whole matter will be putilished in 
America for our use, and In England for t- eir use, by which means 
an American and English Devon Herd Book will be united, and the 
price reasonable, as the expense of English printing and duties will 
be saved Thisfoncert of action h s been brought about by Mr. 
Davy’s good feeling and liberality lowaxls this country and I am 
only the instrument through which Mr. Daw acts, and from this 
time forth Mr. Howard will receive all communications on the sub- 
ject, as wi 1 piipear by reference to his a.dvertisement. 
^^P“A1) Editors who will give he above three insertions will re-
