FOREIGX BIRD EXHIBITIXG : The war practically 

 put a stop to the exhibition of foreign birds, at any rate so far 

 as London was concerned, and then the prohibition of their 

 import temporarily caused the supply to run low, and even now, 

 more than three years after the signing of the armistice, foreign 

 bird exhibiting has not as yet got into its stride, though we 

 opine that next autumn things will be pretty near normal again, 

 and. we hope, F.B.C. will fully resume its normal place therein. 



We have been unable to get up to recent London Shows 

 and report them in our Journal, including the recent Olympia 

 Show, perhaps some member who attended will send us notes 

 regarding the latter. 



We have a few notes sent us and a catalogue of the 

 Scottish National Shoiv held, we think, on January ist. There 

 were six classes in the Foreign Section, viz : 



Common Waxbills, Finches, Mannikins, etc. 



Budgerigars and Lovebirds. 



A.D.\'\ Seed Eaters not larger than Cardinals. 



Cockatoos, Parrots or Parrakeets. 



A.S. Tanagers, Sugarbirds, etc. 



A.S. not comprised in the above. 



These drew together some 47 entries, comprising some 

 beautiful and interesting species, but mostly those well known 

 to aviculture if not to the show bench. 



The Class for Common Waxbills, etc. does not call for 

 comment. It only drew six entrants. 



I, Gallacher, St. Helena Waxbill ; 2. 3, Brotherstone, Diamond Sparrow and 

 St. Helenas ; 4, 5, H. L. F. Pullar, Mannikins and Napoleon Weaver.
