Courtesy of C. I. Hood & Co. from central and northern Europe, their lineage is fairly well established as running back to the aurochs, or />. primigemcs, through the ' park cattle ' of to-day. An interesting confirmation of this assumption occurs fre- quently, especially among Devon cattle, which are known to have developed from the early native cattle of southern England. 1 See ' Wild White (Jattle of (ircat Britain,' by Storcr, for a most fascinating account of these interesting remains of earlier days, that would have afforded richer relics had l''.uropc possessed the inaccessible highlands of southern Asia as natural and safe retreats for these wild animals of the cattle kind.
