“ The Chillingham cattle, which approach most nearly to the true primigenius type, number about sixty, and are described as of medium size, compact in body, and dingy-white in color, with black- tipped horns, brownish muzzle, and red ears. They are timorous, unless hard-pressed, and feed by night. The cows conceal the calves under tall ferns and undergrowth, and resist all approach to them. It is said that these cattle refuse to mingle with any other. ”
