The spine is always striped; the legs are generally barred; and the shoulder-stripe, which is sometimes double and sometimes treble, is common; the side of the face, moreover, is sometimes striped.

The stripes are often plainest in the foal; and sometimes quite disappear in old horses.

Colonel Poole has seen both gray and bay Kattywar horses striped when first foaled.

I have also reason to suspect, from information given me by Mr. W. W. Edwards, that with the English race-horse the spinal stripe is much commoner in the foal than in the full-grown animal.
