NOTICES TO MEMBERS. 



The Balance Shkkt, 1907-8 : It will be seen from the list of 

 donations, that by the generosity of our late Treasurer, A Member and 

 others, that the sum of ^20 12s. has been subscribed for the deficit on last 

 year's accounts, leaving a balance of^2. 6s. iod. to be carried to Illustration 

 Fund for current year. The Committee tender their best thanks for so 

 prompt and generous a response. 



The Committee venture to urge upon all the importance of indvidual 

 effort in seeking to extend our membership. The Show Season furnishes a 

 good opportunity for this, and the Hon. Editorial Secretary will be pleased 

 to forward leaflets "Objects of the Club" to any member willing to circulate 

 them at local Shows, etc., also to send a specimen cop}- of Biid Notes to 

 anyone interested in foreign birds. 



To make our magazine fully representative we need articles 011 

 Parrots, Parrakeets and Lories. Will some member or members making a 

 speciality of these groups kindly supply such ? 



Wesley T. Page, 



Hon. Editorial Secretary.

Red Crested Cardinal. (Mrs. M. R. Raker.) Cause of death : Enteritis 



(probably bacterial), complicated with pneumonia. It was a hen 



bird. 

 Hkn Bi'DGERIGar. (Miss Hollins.) Cause of death : Fatty degeneration 



of the liver. 

 White Java. Cock. (Mrs. Brickwood.) Cause of death : Pneumo- 



enteritis, caused by chill. 

 Canary. (Mrs. L. Rogerson.) The bird had pneumonia and also au 



enlarged liver. Losing four, one after another, seems to indicate that 



the disease is of an infectious nature.
