Neck: Hackle surface white. Undercolor slate. 



Plumage: Every feather on the bird's body, with 

 the exception of those of the neck hackle, should be 

 barred in a transverse direction. These bars should be 

 as clear as possible, with well defined edges; they should 

 run across the feathers so as to form as near as possi- 

 ble rings round the body. The barrings in the feathers 

 of the shoulders, saddle hackle and tail may run in a 

 more or less V-shaped direction. The bars in all cases 

 should be clear, well defined and with clear-cut edges. 

 The black bars should be nearly as possible three times 

 the width of the white bars. The white must be clear 

 and distinct; the black should be greenish black, the 

 more lustre the better. 



Shanks and Toes: Leaden blue. 



Golden Campines 

 Color of Male and Female 

 The same standard as required in the Silvers, ex- 

 cept substitute "reddish bay" for "white"' in the plum- 

 age color.
