Abstract
THE question of the origin of the two types of our domestic cats has been the subject of much controversy, and it is therefore with diffidence that the views, here expressed are now put forward. It is, of course, well known that any domestic “tabby” can, at a glance, be assigned to one of the two colour patterns, “striped” or “blotched.”
