(Carduelis caniceps) ; Himalayan Greenfinch ; Pink-browed Rosefinches 

 (Propasser rhodochrous) very beautiful birds, rich in colour, rare and should 

 be probable breeders ; Cinnamon Tree Sparrows [Passer cinnamomeus) ; 

 Gold-fronted Green Bulbul (Phyllorni* aurijrons) ; White-cheeked Bulbul 

 (Otoiompsa leucogenys) ; Red-vented Bulbul (Pycnotus haemorrhos) ; Red- 

 headed Bunting (Euspiza Inteola) ; Black-headed Bunting (Enspiza melanoce- 

 phala); Crested Buntings (Melopns melanicterus) ; White-crested Laughing 

 Thrush (Garmlax lencolophns); Black-headed Sibia {ASa/arias capistrata); 

 Hill Mynah (Mainalns intermedins) ; Pied Myuali (Stumospastor contra) ; 

 Rose-coloured Starlings (Pastor rosens) in exquisite condition and colour, 

 the finest couple I have ever seen. 



The Quails safely landed consist of : The Jungle Bush, The Bustard, 

 The Little Button and Rain Quails. 



Of the following species, all died during the voyage: The White 

 Spotted Forktail ; The Fantail ; The Rufous-tail Lark; The Black-headed 

 Yellow Bulbul (lora zeyloniea) ; The Orauge-gorgeted Flycatcher ; The 

 Desert Finch ; The Black-beliied Lark. 



The foregoing notes barely does justice to this really fine, rare and 

 uncommon series of Indian Birds, and Capt. Perreau is certainly to be 

 congratulated on his achievement. Meagre as the above notes are, we shall 

 hope to have them supplemented later, as many of the birds are passing 

 into our members' bird-rooms and aviaries. Note : It may possibly be 

 necessary to correct one or two of the names in our next issue, as not only 

 was close observation difficult, time limited, and most of my notes mental, 

 consequently some corrections may be necessary. 



A VISIT TO THE LITTLE ZOO. On the same afternoon (May 

 2nd), I called and looked over the recent arrivals at the " Little Zoo," Bath ; 

 Mr. Millsum's description makes further comment superfluous, but I fullv 

 endorse his remarks as to the well being and fitness of the whole series. 

 Two species interested me greatl\ T , The Grey-crowned Friar Birds and the 

 Dusky Mynah, this latter I opine is the only survivor, though in the hurry 

 I omitted to ask whether any had been distributed to other aviculturists. 

 this fine bird has since come into my possession and I shall hope to notice 

 this and Friar Birds in our next issue.
