5 2 Deer Breeding for Fine Heads 



darker, and black about the head ; no spots, a black stripe down 

 the back and along the tail, build rather slight, horns covered 

 with black velvet. 



No. 5. " Grey." 



This is a very pretty variety, the colour being silver grey all 

 over. When in velvet, the horns are of the same silvery grey. I 

 think this variety could be bred with white spots and white side- 

 stripe, but at present I have only the solid colour, French grey. 



No. 6. "White." 



This deer must be pure white without any other colour what- 

 ever, the horns being very pale pink grey when in velvet. 



No. 7. " Cream Colour." 



A pale cream all over, with a slight tendency to a back and 

 tail stripe of brown, horns in velvet slightly darker than in No. 6. 



No. 8. " Black with white legs." 



The whole animal as black as possible, but with the legs from 

 the knees and hocks nearly or quite white ; horns in velvet ' very 

 dark grey. 



No. 9. " Black with white spots." 



This variety, which is the most rare of all, ought to be as 

 black as possible, no white appearing except in the spots, which 

 ought to be very numerous, large, and evenly distributed ; no side- 

 stripe, and the velvet on the horns black. 



No. 10. " Black variety." 



As black as possible, with no white anywhere, the horns in 

 velvet also black. This is the most hardy of all the varieties, and 

 grows to the largest size. 



The new-born young of all the varieties are fully spotted.
