Here a^ain the description will be but sketchy, jas 

 I am hoping" for an illustrated article in a near issue of our 

 Journal. 



The aviaries are roomy natural enclosures, with ;a 

 shrubbery all round the framework of flight, then a gravel 

 walk, with the centre a lawn, in the middle of which is a 

 shallow vessel and fountain, and under small shelters at the 

 four corners of the lawn are placed the food vessels, thus 

 compelling the birds to bo more or less on view during 

 the day. The aviaries, of which there are two, are each 

 about 70 X ,30 feet, with suitable shelters. One, situated in 

 tlip garden is called "The Garden Aviary," tlie other in a 

 clearing- in the wood, is termed " The Wood Aviary." 



'Not the least interesting feature of these sketchy notes 

 will be the varied species that are associated together and 

 so living in amity. About the garden roam a few individuals 

 which proved obstreperous and were given their liberty, and 

 appear likely to remain about the garden and wood. 



The Garden Aviary contains the following species living 

 happily together, all were in perfect health and condition, 

 and though the additions this year have been quite numerous, 

 very many of them have been successfully wintered out of 



doors.
