opportunity of seeing both these iledgelings and congratulate 

 Dr. Scott on so notaljle a success. Unfortunately the young 

 Scarlet died the third day after lea^'ing the nest, but the yoiing 

 Blue is fully reared. 



Yellow Hammku: Oui' esteemed member Mr. 11. Will- 

 ford has successfully reared this species. We believe this is 

 the first time young have Ijeen /'ulh/ reareci in captivity. 



Genekal: In ?^lr. Willtord's roomy aviaries many of 

 the " Freely Imported Species " are now feeding second broods; 

 Grey -winged Ouzels have one brood on the wing and are 

 engaged in bringing up the second. 01i\e Finclies are in the 

 same satisfactory position, and Mandarin and Carolina Ducks 

 and Tinamous are incubating and Moorhens have a bi'ood of 

 young. Dr. Scott lias young (second broods) of Grey-winged 

 Ouzels, Pileated Finches, Cordon Bleus, etc., on the Aviiig. 



Dr. M. Aujsler lias fully reared young of J51ue-breasted 

 W'axbills, Parrot, llulicautla, and Cuba Finches, and Chinese 

 Painted (_^uails. 



GouLDiAN Finches; l3oth Dr. Scott and Mr. Nicalson 

 report young in the nest of this species — the foiiner has four 

 very stJ'ong .young birds on the wing. 



Gold-fronted Green Dulbul : We regret thai only 

 partial success has attended the etforts of this species to re- 

 produce its Ivind, in the aviary of our esteemed member Dr. 

 M. Amsler, and we sympathise with him in what must be a 

 keen disappouitment. One young bird A\as duly hatched and 

 another contained a dead chick. The chick had evidently been 

 fed, but it was picked up dead when thirty -six hours old, in 

 the inner compartment of the aviary, where one of the parent 

 birds had evidently carried it. Tliey are now iucubaling an- 

 other clutch, which are about due to hatch^ and we trust 

 this second efl'ort will be crowned with complete success, but 

 they will lack the oversight of the master -eye, as Dr. Amsler 

 is away holiday making this month. 



Medal itECOiiDs: Our esteemed member Mr. A\'. E. 

 Teschemaker has successfully reared young of: Meaiy ilcd- 

 poUs, Black-headed Siskins, and Black-throated Buntings. If 

 any member is aware of any i^revious record of any of the 

 above will they kmdly send in details at once, or the medals
