The Foreign Bird Club. 



Notices to Members. 



SuBSCRiPTiox: We would remind members that for the facile 

 working of the club's affairs on business lines, it is npcessary thatl 

 subscriptions be paid promptly. We would ask that those who 

 have not remitted their subscriptions for the current year will 

 please do so at once, as having to make postal application for 

 same is not only an unnecessary charge on the funds, but adds 

 considerably to the already heavy work of the club's honorary 

 officials. 



Members' Gatherings: As already announced the first of 

 these take place at the Zoo on Wednesday, May 17th. Rendezvous, 

 Small Bird House, Zoological Gardens, Regent's Park, at 2 p.m. 



Breeding Records: We hope all membea^s will keep a 

 strict record of results, and send same for publica,'tion periodically—*, 

 this is a matter of general in/terest and all should take a share 

 in contributing to same. Medals are awarded for breeding a 

 species for the first time in Great Britain, and to 'members residing 

 abroad for species not previously bred in captivity. A. claim 

 must be put in within a month of thje event taking place, and a 

 detailed account of the success must be sent for publishing in the^ 

 Club Journal. 



Breeding Parrakeets: Will some membeis who specialise 

 in the PsiUacido} kindly send in an article on breeding the more 

 commonly imported species? 



The Club's Medal: A medal has been awarded to Mr. W. 

 E. Teschemaker, for breeding the White-cheeked Crested Quail 

 (Biopsy chortyx leucopogon) for the first time in Great Britain.
