150 A Visit to Mr. WiUford's Aviaries. 



where to begin, so I will not attempt their description, hut 

 will leave it to the abler pen of Mr. Page. 



Mr. Willford had a particularly fine pair of Grey- 

 winged Ouzels nesting, and also some remarkalily pretty Sugar - 

 birds, which much struck my fancy. Also I was much amused 

 by his Maral)ou Stork, which, foi- our benefit, (\\(\ a " Rlondiu " 

 walk along th "ramework roof of the aviaries and at another 

 time showed us his peculiar, and one would think uncomfort- 

 able method of sf;Matting down with his legs stretched out in 

 front of him. I was also enabled to see some nests and Q'^i^^ 

 of wild English birds . id sc le excellent photographs of them, 

 and of the parents sitting and feeding their young. Mr. \\\\\- 

 ford has now added to his stock from my importation 



1 a' and 2 9 Pink -browed Eose- finches. 



1 cf Redmantled Roseflnch. 



2 cT Common Rosefinches. 

 He is also having from me: 



1 Blue -cheeked Barbet. 



1 Pair Giant Barbets (Megalnma marshaUormn). 



I hope he will have good breeding results with the 

 Pink-browed Rosefinches and Giant Barbets and will later 

 be able to obtain mates for the others. 



In closing, I should T' -> to express my thanks and 

 indebtedness to Mr. Page and .-. Willford.
