O.
IS AN ORIENTAL-BEAVER.
These strangely beautiful specimens are rarely seen in this cold country.
Those who have had the privilege of observing closely a gaggle of Orientals in indigenous plumage (the species is pathetically subject to local changes) will, assuredly, ever prize the recollection.
The most noteworthy feature, apart from the extraordinarily fine quality of coat (glossiness, sheen, etc.), is the exotic parting which lends a wistful charm to the otherwise opulent glories of these occasional visitors.
Score always two games (in England); set, if the specimen is in indigenous plumage.
