THE BOOK OF THE CAT. 



of the hindquarters in this section. Again, 

 of what value does the reporter flatter himself 

 his writings can be when we read in a so-called 

 critique of a spotted Geoffrey's cat and of an 

 ocelot that they are " pretty tiger-marked 

 specimens " ? We wonder if the gentleman 

 ever saw a tiger. 



There is much that is fascinating much, nay 

 almost all to learn, the most beautiful colours 



and arrangements of markings to be studied, 

 by those who will devote their attention to 

 foreign cats. To the search for something 

 new we owe the beautiful Siamese. Will no 

 one pay some attention to the other varieties 

 of the feline tribe from distant lands ? They 

 are well worth it, and the addition of more 

 foreign cats at our shows would be interesting 



and instructive.
