points allotted to the items, "depth, purity, and brilliancy," must be understood here to apply 

 to those properties as attaching to the cinnamon colour, which is here the body-colour, the position 

 of things being inverted. 



Only a very slight alteration, also, will be necessary to adapt the foregoing scales to the 

 requirements of the 



CRESTED CINNAMONS, 



in which, in the Clear-BODIED Cinnamon-crested birds, the 5 points for colour allotted to 

 the Crested Norwich in Class (a) must here be regarded as the maximum for the purest cin- 

 namon-coloured crest. In the Evenly-MARKED Crested, the Norwich scale measures the bird 

 exactly, noting our observation as to the meaning of depth and purity of body-colour. But in 

 the Variegated Crested, in the face of the fact that the crest will have, in the majority of cases, 

 been imported from the Norwich bird, and ought to be transmitted with more general Norwich 

 colour-properties than we can expect to find in some of the rough forms in which the foundation 

 of Norwich crest is occasionally laid, we give more points for body-colour than we have done to 

 the Variegated Crested Norwich bird in Class (c), which may be supposed to have perhaps only 

 recently imported its new feature at some expense of its own native colour. This, restored in 

 the Cinnamon, we assess at double value and write it down 20, making the total of the body- 

 points 50, and leaving the balance to the crest.
