Note 51 — CATTLE.

I am much indebted to the present Earl of Tankerville for information about his wild cattle; and for the skull which was sent to Prof. Rütimeyer. The fullest account of the Chillingham cattle is given by Mr. Hindmarsh, together with a letter by the late Lord Tankerville, in ‘Annals and Mag. of Nat. Hist.,’ vol. ii., 1839, p. 274. See Bewick, ‘Quadrupeds,’ 2nd edit., 1791, p. 35, note. With respect to those of the Duke of Queensberry, see Pennant’s ‘Tour in Scotland,’ p. 109. For those of Chartley, see Low’s ‘Domesticated Animals of Britain,’ 1845, p. 238. For those of Gisburne, see Bewick ‘Quadrupeds,’ and ‘Encyclop. of Rural Sports,’ p. 101.
