5*3 



Cream-coloured or buff. At times I have an impression 

 of a blue tinge, as if the yellow of the star were seen 

 thi-ough a film of a bkie tint. 



19 



5-6 



Deep cream, buff, Bath-brick- or wash-leather-colour, with 

 a tinge of blue over it. e the same colour, but perhaps 

 slightly lighter and without the blue, or at least with 

 excessively little of it. Eepeatedly examined also by 

 Mr. Dancer and Mr. Williamson, with different powers, 

 and their estimations of colour precisely the same as 

 my own.

Buff-coloured, with a tinge of blue, and deeper than e 

 Coronse, which is yellow or light buff.

 tirely disappeared.

 French white colom-, or nearly like Smyth's No. 4 blue.
