evenness, regularity, and accuracy of feather markings that 

 perfection is attained , and this is generally found in the lighter or 

 palest grounded birds, where the beauty and clear contrast is 

 most obvious . Thighs are more or less colored , the less the better , 

 white preferred; Flights, white, and seven to ten aside; Tail, 

 dark purple blue downwards from line across rump, the usual 

 black band at lower extremity, upon which should be on each 

 and every feather a large round ivhiie spot ("peacock's eye") 

 clearly defined. In the lighter colored birds, however, this white 

 takes the form of a band , and if well and clearly defined is of equal

SULPHURETTES. 



Are same as above, showing pale sulphur ground color, instead of 

 pale pink-brown on shoulders. 



THE BRUNETTE.

THE VIZOR. 



Differs only from the Satinette in that the head should be dark 

 bronzy purple clear cut to a well defined line running across the neck, 

 from bottom of gullet to back of crest, dividing the dark colored head 

 from the white. Body, frill, rump, and legs should be pure white and 

 free from foul feathers; thighs as little dark as possible. The dark 

 tail clearly shown at rump, and white primary flights seven to ten. 



BLACK AND DUN LACED SATINETTES.
