great cattle

pl. Eng . Law : All manner of cattle except sheep and yearlings. ( Wharton .) Great Charter, s. [MAGNA CHARTA.] great-circle, s. [CIRCLE.] Great-circle sailing : Great-eared leaf - bat : [MACROTUS.] Great-eared tribes: nate savage races who disfigure themselves by Anthrop.: A name sometimes employed to desig- stretching their ears to an enormous size with what may be called exaggerated ear-rings. In this case the lobes are stretched into pendent fleshy loops; but the savages by no means answer the description of Pliny's Panotii ( N. H. , iv. 27), "whose ears were large enough to be used for cover- ing their bodies." As a matter of fact the name Oregon is only a corruption of the Spanish Orejones (Big-ears), a nickname jocularly conferred on the inhabitants from their practice of enlarging the lobes of their ears.
