T have not bought any birds since the war broke out, so my variety 

 is now quite small; but, on my return, I am taking- back with me a fair

 also some buntings, larks, waxwings and troupials.

 doing well ; the former fly beautifully, but, I am afraid they will have to be 

 pinioned and wander at large out of doors, as, though they are in the far 

 division of the aviary, the smell of fish is most ol)jectionable, and spo'ls the 

 pleasure of going down there.
