b. ( = bufl), when >/. (= yellow) is not mentioned in any mating. If ?/. be mentioned then b. is 
used for those buffs which have been noted, no symbol being given for those unknown. 
Example. C. t. b. (bad front) [G. t. x c. cl. : 3. '04) x Fl. t.y.=\ C. t. y. $ (bad front) -\-\C.t.b.$

The above formula means : 
A ticked buff crested cock with bad front to his crest (from mating no. 3. 1904 of ticked

young: one ticked yellow crested cock with bad front, one ticked buff crested cock with bad 
front, one ticked yellow crest-bred cock, one marked yellow crest-bred hen.
