POINTS 



Head lo 



Small, broad across and between the eyes, rounded 

 above, below tapering towards the lips, nose rather 

 long than short, ears of medium size, narrow and 

 rounded at apex, broad at the base. 



Eyes 15

 names, large, round, full, and very lustrous. 



Fur 10 



Short, of even length, smooth, silky, and glossy. 



Colour 20 



Deep, rich, reddish-brown, bright red, or yellow, in 

 the order as above, brighter inside the legs and 

 belly ; ears and nose deeper colour, the latter at 

 the tip red, edged with chocolate. 



Markings 20 



Dark, rich brown or chocolate, lines not too broad, 

 scarcely so wide as the ground colour shown be- 

 tween, so as to give a light and brilliant effect ; 

 when the lines are broader than the colour space 

 it is a defect, being then light colour markings on 

 dark brown or chocolate, red or dark yellow, instead 

 of colour marked with deeper 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 the back of hind-legs, and the ear-points, 

 dark. Yellow tabby, the cushions of feet red, or 

 light red.
