"OUR MAGAZINE." 

 Sir, — I think the proposal that each present member should 

 introduce one new member an excellent one, and, if Mr. Millsum will per- 

 mit me, I would suggest an amendment to it, namely : 



(i) That each member shall procure one new member or, as a forfeit, 



subscribe 5/- to the Illustration Fund ; 

 (2) That the member introducing the greatest number of new members 

 [not less than four — Ed.]shall have his annual subscription returned 



to him for the current year.

Small Finch. (Lady Dunn). Cause of illness, pneumonia. The crop was 

 distended with seed and in consequence of this region being some- 

 what bare of feathers, the organ appeared abnornal, which it was not. 



British Wrkn. (G. E. Weston). The body was plump, well nourished 

 and the internal organs were healthy. The cause of death was 

 syncope or sudden failure of the heart's action.
