See some remarks on this head with respect to sheep by Mr. Wilson, in ‘Gardener’s Chronicle,’ 1863, p. 15. Many striking instances of this result are given by M. Malingié-Nouel (‘Journ. R. Agricult.

He found that he obtained the desired influence of the English breeds by crossing intentionally mongrelised French breeds with pure English breeds.
