in a radiator and liot-vvater service, added glass doors so as 

 to enclose birds into the inner portion diirini^- the winter month.;: 

 the temperatnre this winter has varied between 50 and 60 

 dei^rees F. 1 also wired in a small ])iece as winter cpiarters iov 

 the smaller species. 



In the main portion are : — -

The Triani^'nlar Spotted Pigeons have done exceptionallv 

 well with me, proving quite prolific. I bought a pair from the 

 London Zoo in March 1920, and the following is their record :
