The Border Fancy. 351 



This breed is greatly esteemed on the borders of Scotland 

 and Cumberland, and in the north and north-west of England 

 generally; at Galashiels and Hawick, and in Carlisle, White- 

 haven, and other border towns the best specimens are to be 

 found. They are hardy and prolific birds, and well adapted 

 to beginners in the bird fancy.
