130 Report oF THE DIRECTOR OF THE 
calves, and so on throughout the table, and that these calves 
were in every case all the calves the cow had. 
A following table is of equal interest, as showing the same 
prepotency as to sex of the cow, where many cases are given 
showing the great preponderance of one sex or the other in the 
offspring of many of thé cows reported.

It is to be recorded also that in the case of one of the Jersey 
cows giving in continuous succession seven heifer calves a different 
sire was used, as also in the case of another Jersey giving in suc- 
cession seven bull calves. The same was true of a Jersey giving 
five heifer calves in succession, as also of aShorthorn cow which 
gave 11 heifers and only one bull calf, and of still another 
Shortorn cow which gave nine heifers and but one bull calf. 
Doubtless many similar cases occurred but those sending replies 
to the circular failed to call attention to this matter which is 
certainly of marked interest and value as bearing upon the 
question of the individual influence of the cow in determining 
the sex of the offspring.
