Which were employed in the formation of the English stud during the last century.

1. A Natural Arabian Mare, greatgrandam of Mr. Bertie's Trifle, by Fox.

This mare in another place, p. 183, vol. i., General Stud-book' is called a Natural Barb Mare, an instance showing how horses of Eastern blood were not always accurately described, and that there was formerly, as there is now, a propensity to call any horse of Eastern blood an Arab. An inborn acknowledgment of the superiority and antiquity of the Arabian breed: no one possessing a pure Arabian would call him a Turk or Barb, or care to have him so described. 2. A Natural Arabian Mare, grandam of Lord Portman's Tiney, by Skim.

3. An Arabian Mare, great-grandam of Lord Lonsdale's Monkey, by his Bay Arabian.

4. An Arabian Mare, great-greatgrandam of Sir C. Sedley's Cadena, by Cade.

5. An Arabian Mare of Lord Lonsdale's, great-great-grandam of Sir J. Pennyman's Bumper, by Partner.

6. An Arabian Mare, the dam of Sir C. Bunbury's Humdrum, by Matchem.

7. An Arabian Mare, the dam of Lord Clermont's Hunston. There are two other Arabian Mares mentioned between the years 1760-80, but I am not sure if these were imported mares, or whether they were foaled in this country, and styled Arabian mares after their sires, as in the cases of the Beaufort, Cullen, the Cyprus, and the Darley Arabian Mares, which were daughters of those Arabians, and of mares more or less purely bred. The same may be the case with those mares numbered 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. I do not say it is so; they were in this country at an early date, but their description is certainly rather in opposition to those marked 1 and 2, which, being called Natural Arabian Mares, would imply they were imported, or, if foaled in this country, that their sires and dams were both Arabian.
