Oxen are still found wild in some parts of Europe ; 
and although the original stock has long since 
been extinct in our island, yet their offspring are 
still preserved in the parks of Drumlanrig and Chil- 
lingham. They retain their white colour, and their 
savage disposition, but have lost their manes. The 
late Mr. Tunstall, of Wycliff, Yorkshire, collected 
some curious information respecting these cattle.
