Notices to Members. 



Obituary : It is with niueh regret that we have to announce three 

 lotses this month, viz., VV. R. Temple, Datchet, Bucks, A. R. Home, 

 Murtle, Aberdeen, and Lieut. H. R. Young-, Streatnam, 5.W. 



Mr. Temple is quite an old member ol F B.C., and for some years 

 lias seived on the Council. He was a keen aviculturist, being interested 

 principally, in Floceme and Fringilline finches, meeting with considerable 

 success in breeding Parrot Finches and various Poephi'a. He also attempted 

 to breed several species of the rarer 'possibly, 1 should say the more retiring) 

 British birds, coming very near to buccess with Nuthatches and Tree 

 Creepers. He was equally interested in Cavies and Dogs, and will be missed 

 ii many directic/us. To Mrs. Temple we offer deep and sincere sympathy 

 in her bereavement. 



Mr. Home was less known to us, as he took no public part in F.B.C., 

 and was only a verv occasional contributor to the club Journal. He was a 

 keen nature student, not merely a keeper of foreign birds, but a lover of all 

 wild life. His demise was the termination of a long, weary, and painful 

 ilhiess. To his bereaA'ed family we offer our profound sympathy. 



Also Lieut. H. R. Young, Mitchar: Lane, Streatham, S.W. To his 

 1 ireavcd family we offer sincere sympathy.
