THE BRUNER POUTER. 



The Bruuer Pouter fs very similar to the Pigmy, but should 

 be clean limbed, i. e., free from feathers below the knee joint. 

 The Bruner is seldom seen as slim in girth as the Pigmy, and 

 are mostly shown in self colors, white being the most pop- 

 ular. 



THE NORWICH CROPPER. 



Croppers resemble Pouters in many points, while in some 

 they differ completely. In color, markings, action and crop, 

 inflation there is little difference, the limbs are shorter and 

 free from feathering ; the body is short, and sihoulders com- 

 paratively broad. In other words the Cropper is a "slumpy" 

 Pouter with clean limbs.
