Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Ox and Its Kindred
The extinct wild ox and the domesticated breeds form the main theme Of the book, which would, however, have been obviously incomplete without some account of existing wild cattle. Since, however, I have treated of these very fully in -a larger work, the present notice is comparatively brief. Finally, hybrid cattle and extinct cattle form the respective subjects of two short chapters.
To the Trustees of the British Museum and several friends and correspondents I am indebted for many of the illustrations in this volume, the sources of all Of which are, I hope, duly acknowledged.
