PIGEON NOMENCLATURE. 



I NOTICE your reporter's reply in last Thursday's issue. As 

 I was not present at Glasgow I am unable to state how I should 

 have described the colour of the young Carrier in pen 77. I 

 endeavoured to point out that the term " silver dun " means 

 " bad-coloured dun," and nothing else. The terms " dun " and 

 " silver dun " are used indiscriminately by Antwerp breeders 

 to indicate the colour generally called *' mealy," or " ash-mealy." 

 As neither dun nor silver is allowed to colours of these birds^ 

 no confusion is occasioned by speaking of a dun or silver dun 

 bird as long as such a Pigeon is an Antwerp ; but as soon as the 

 appellation " silver dun " is used to indicate the colour of a 

 Pigeon belonging to a breed in which the colours dun and silver, 

 or either of them exists, it becomes a very vague term. 



If "silver dun" were not employed to denominate a colour 

 other than the colour which it really means, I should know 

 that your reporter wishes to state " that the colour of the 

 Pigeon in pen 77 was bad-coloured dun." I have seen Silver 

 Dragoons called " Silver Dun Dragoons " in this Journal. I 

 wish, therefore, to point out to your reporter that I do nob 

 understand whether he has fallen into either of the errors of 

 calling either a mealy or a sUver Carrier a " silver dun," or 

 whether he wished to state "that the young Carrier in pen 77 

 was a bad-coloured dun, and that it should have been entered 

 in class 12." — Tubkey Quill. 



THE NORTHAMPTON RABBIT SCHEDULE. 



The Northampton Rabbit Show will soon be here again, and 

 although the schedule is not so complete as last year's was, yet 

 we hope it will meet with the same success, for it will be well 

 remembered that never before was so good a collection of 

 Babbits brought together. 



This year Northampton has nine classes — one less than at the 

 last Show, that for weight being omitted, we are sorry to say 

 (probably on account of the scarcity of entries then), for the prizes 

 of this class are the only encouragement fanciers have to feed 

 Rabbits. In still continuing to allow only two classes for Lops, 

 Northampton, in my opinion, is wise ; for if it cannot aSord a. 

 class for each colour, it is right in refraining from giving more. 

 The Angoras have more allotted to them than any of the others, 

 having a cup to themselves besides the usual prizes. I expected 

 to see a class for Belgian Hares and Patagonians, exclusive of 

 the Any other variety one, but am disappointed this year, yet 

 hope it will be thought of at the next meeting. 



It is pleasing to find that the Local class is not omitted, for 

 this was exceedingly well filled last year, and no doubt will be so 

 this, for Northampton is known to possess many ardent fanciers. 

 The entry fees are low, and " the exhibits will be judged the day 

 before the Show opens," thus giving the Judge, who is a gentle- 

 man highly capable, more time to award the prizes.
