[207] 'Schweineschaedel,' 1864, s. 104. Nathusius states that the form of
skull characteristic of the niata cattle occasionally appears in European
cattle; but he is mistaken, as we shall hereafter see, in supposing that
these cattle do not form a distinct race. Prof. Wyman, of Cambridge, United
States, informs me that the common cod-fish presents a similar monstrosity,
called by the fishermen the "bulldog cod." Prof. Wyman also concluded,
after making numerous inquiries in La Plata, that the niata cattle transmit
their peculiarities or form a race.
