Transcript

I was interested to find a very old abbey on the island built by King David I between 1154 + 1158 to commemmorate [commemorate] the burial there of St [Saint] Adrian in 870. Edinburgh Sept [September] 9/52 [1952]. Back on the job at the university Heard Dr [Sir John?] Hammond of Cambridge discussing recent developments in use of X Ray of newborn piglets to detect those with extra ribs or vertebrae in their attempt to breed a longer pig. They apparently have a very portable X ray outfit. Sept [September] 11/52 [1952] Had a discussion with Dr [I.W.?] Parnell of some of his work here. Apparently the parasitology group here is a most active one + has been concentrating on the parasites of the hill sheep. From his notebooks I got the following data on fertility + sex ratios in 581 red deer hinds examined by him. A Yeld hind is one not having a calf the previous year A Jinnok is a short 2 year old - 18 mos [months] Fertility [TABLE] Yeld hinds hinds that lost calves Jinnoks milking hinds not preg.
