approach to uniformity. Thus for the
horse and the ass the extreme limit is
about thirty-fiva years and for horned
cattle about thirty. For the dog it is
given as twenty-five, while sheep,
goats, pigs and cats are grouped at If
teen. But there are stranger dispari-
ties among birds. While goose may
