Note 214 — Chapter VI
Hugh J. C. Beavan translation
“What would be thought of a breeder who took Norman colts or Flemish calves to the high lands of the Alps and the Pyrenees, and then expected to see them reproduce (their training having been finished) all the pure characteristics of the original races?”—Isidore Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, Histoire Naturelle Générale, vol. iii, p. 307.
