Summary
The Dexter is a breed of cattle of peculiar proportions which probably had
its origin as the result of a cross between the indigenous Irish Kerry and
the imported Red Devon.
The breed is remarkable in that a proportion of the calves are still-born
Page 254
and present certain constant abnormalities which are closely akin to those
constituting the condition of achondroplasia as met with in the human.
In this paper the incidence of these monstrous calves is interpreted in
genetical terms, and a suggestion is made as to their eradication. Reasons
are given for regarding a malfunctioning of the pituitary as the responsible
causal agent in the production of the abnormality.
The possible bearing of the case of the monstrous calf of the Dexter upon
the species problem is briefly discussed.
