England about a hundred years ago, by Sir John Sebright, for 

 whom they were named. Although the large Brahmas and 

 Cochins are originally of the same stock, no bantams of the 

 colors of the Brahmas have come from China. The Light and 

 Dark Brahma Bantams were made in England and America 

 in very recent times. From Japan has come a peculiar type of 

 bantam with very short legs, a large tail carried very high, and 

 a large single comb. In their native country the Japanese Ban- 

 tams are not separated into distinct color varieties. In England 

 and America there are black, white, gray, black-tailed white, 

 and buff varieties.
