The annexed table will' shew the relative proportions be-tween two Galloway cows, and two of the long and shorthorned breeds, in those points which arc considered of thegreatest importance. The comparison is said to have beenmade with great accuracy, and is inserted here rather for thepurpose of shewing the proportions of the Galloway breed,than with a view to the inferences that may have been drawnfrom it.
