A report has just been received from Cap D’Antibes of a “magnificent Wasp-Waisted-King.” Game was called. No information was sent (correspondents are deplorably slack) as to colour or coat.
Good players, in France, lay great stress on minute differences in colour and characteristic, i.e., crimped, curled, waved, rat-tail, wuzzy, wild-garden, etc.
H.
IS A HALF-BEAVER.
These delightful specimens are now, unhappily, becoming very rare.
They are still occasionally scored in the neighbourhood of places of worship and on the seashore.
Some claim increased points in ratio to the length of the upper lip.
The specimen mounted (Stockton-on-Tees, 1919), is a fine one, exhibiting all the marked features of the genus, including a most gratifying labial expanse.
