an Aberdeen-Angus animal born within the last four or five years which is not descended from Iliad more than once.
One other Scots breed—the Highlanders—is also of some interest. Its basis was the original black Celtic cattle. The browns or (in Gaelic) donns came in at some time or other, and brindles appeared from the cross. The hornless light dun Scandinavians came in and produced hornless cattle and duns with the black ones, and further brindles with the donns. Subsequently red English—some of them with Longhorn markings—reached the Highlands, and there resulted another brindle with the donns, and a yellow by crossing with the light duns; but the Longhorn markings and the hornlessness got from the Scandinavians have been eliminated. The following diagram will show how the present Highland colours were produced from the original four:—
