POINTS OF EXCELLENCE. 129 



POINTS 



Colour 20 



Deep, very rich reddish-brown, more rufous inside 

 the legs and belly ; ears and nose a still deeper red- 

 brown, the latter at the tip edged with black. 

 Ordinary tabby, dark gray, and ticked. 



Markings 20 



Jet-black lines, not too broad, scarcely so wide as 

 the ground colour shown between, so as to give a 

 light and brilliant effect. When the black lines 

 are broader than the colour space, it is a defect, 

 being then black marked with colour, instead of 

 colour marked with black. The Hnes must be 

 clear, sharp, and well-defined, in every way dis- 

 tinct, having no mixture of the ground colour. 

 Head and legs marked regularly, the rings on the 

 throat and chest being in no way blurred or 

 broken, but clear, graceful, and continuous ; lips, 

 cushions of feet, and backs of hind-legs, and the 

 ear-points, black. 



Form lo 



Narrow, long, graceful in line, neck rather long and 

 slender; shoulders receding, well-sloped and deep; 

 legs medium length, not thick nor clumsy; feet 

 round and small. 



Tatl. . ■ 5 



Long, thick at the base and narrrowing towards the 

 end, carried low, with graceful curve, and marked 

 with black rings. 



Size and Condition 10 



Large, lithe, elegant in all its movements ; hair 

 smooth, clean, bright, full of lustre, and lying 

 close to the body, all betokening full health and 

 strength.
