 this or any other subject. 



The present instalment deals with the Mistle- 

 Thrush, Song-Thrush, Redwing, Fieldfare, Black- 

 bird, Ring-Ouzel, Wheatear, Whinchat, Stonechat, 

 Redstart, Black Redstart, Robin, and Nightingale. 

 The plates are sixteen in number, three of them 

 showing sexual differences as regards the Wheatear, 

 Whinchat, Stonechat, Redstart, and Black Redstart. 

 The immature plumage of the Robin is also the 

 subject of one of the plates. 



The work will be complete in 20 parts, and there 

 will probably be a supplement dealing with our rare 

 stragglers.

Green vSinging Finch, hen. (Mrs. MacAdam). Beyond a 

 pinker condition of the lungs than is normal there was

 be accounted for by the history of having been kept in a 

 warm room and being suddenly exposed to a draught from

 liver and apoplexy. The death appears to have been
