THE SPECKLED HAMBURG.?Of the speckled, or spangled Hamburg

which is a favourite breed with many persons, there are two

varieties,?the golden-speckled and the silver-speckled. The

general colour of the former is golden, or orange-yellow, each

feather having a glossy dark brown or black tip, particularly

remarkable on the hackles of the cock and the wing-coverts, and

also on the darker feathers of the breast. The female is yellow,

or orange-brown, the feathers in like manner being margined with

black. The silver-speckled variety is distinguished by the

ground-colour of the plumage being of a silver-white, with

perhaps a tinge of straw-yellow, every leather being marginedwith a semi-lunar mark of glossy black.
