The Silver Wyandotte female re-ceives similar treatment in the lacedsections as the male, the descriptionof a laced feather being the same inboth. The color of neck is changedsomewhat. The shafts of feathers nowcalled for are white instead of maybe white which corresponds with thedescription of the male neck feather. The description of tail now reads:Black, greater coverts, black, lessercoverts, black, with white centers; theupper sides of top feathers edged withwhite. The white edging required.

White Wyandotte plumage is nowdescribed as being:—Web, fluff andquills of feathers in all sections, purewhite, which is perhaps a trifle moreexplicit than the old of the eyes, shanks and toes isthe same as required on Silver andGolde
