BLONDINETTES. 



Like Satinettes , are of various patterns of markings , viz . : " Laced , ' ' 

 • ' arrow-pointed , " " spangled , ' ' and ' ' tipped , " and of various shades 

 and degrees of these from light to dark, and from fine to heavy. The 

 varieties are: Blue, Silver, Red, Yellow, Black, Dun, and Sulphur. 

 These are of the variegated or " laced " kinds; the beaks of which 

 should be black, flesh and horn to harmonise with each color; Eyes 

 should be red or yellow; i.e., a " coloured eye." The head, neck, 

 frill, and tail of a darker shade. Whatever the color of each, it must 

 be of the richest and purest of shade: Red, Yellow, Blue, Silver, or 

 Sulphur, and the markings clearly defined; the Blue-laced being 

 especially beautiful about the head and neck, with a rich and brilliant 

 bronzy hue, which sometimes terminates at junction line of neck and 

 back; and in others in a dark head, as the veil of a Nun. These latter 

 sort are invariably very clear, light, and attractive in variegation, 

 the completeness of which is exemplified all over,e\en to neck, breast, 

 back, belly, and thighs. In a thoroughly good laced Blondinette the 

 bronzy colour should permeate the whole plumage, flights, and tail; 

 the latter of which should have the large round white spot or band 

 clearly defined upon every feather, whilst the former also should have 

 an oblong white spot at each extremity of flight feather . Legs and feet 

 grouse -feathered to tips of toes. 



BLACK AND DUN LACED. 



These are two sub-varieties , in which the ' ' lacing'''' proper is more 

 pronounced and conspicuous. In these, each feather is evenly edged 

 with its respective colors, varying from heavy to fine, and from dark 

 to light lacing. Tail and flights also fairly edged throughout; and 

 neck also fairly variegated. Breast, back, belly, thighs, and muffs 

 also edged. 



BARRED BLONDINETTES. 



Are of plain , clear Blue , or Silver ; each sort with clear white bars 

 with a fine line of black upon lower edge of each. Tail and flights with 

 well-defined and clear large white spot or band near to extremity of
