For the Ticked and Green varieties the same standard as that 

 given for the clear birds will be found equally applicable ; but 

 with regard to the Unevenly -marked birds the markings, which 

 form an interesting feature in- this class, must be taken into 

 consideration. I therefore give the following as a standard of 

 excellence :
