JUNE, 1911 



The Foreign Bird Club. 



Notices to Members. 



Club Meeting: By an oversight the next meeting- was 

 arranged for Coronation Day, June 22nd— it must be obvious that 

 this date cannot stand, therefore the meeting is postponed to June 

 29th: rendezvous, Small Bird's House, Zoological Gardens, London, 

 at 11 la.m., and also at 2 p.m., for those unable to be there in 

 the morning. It would be a great convenience if those able to be 

 present would notify the Hon. Editor, as this would allow of some 

 little organization. 



Club Badges: We are having a number of neat badges 

 made in solid silver, picked out in blue and white enamel, these 

 can be obtained from the Hon. Editor at 3s. 6d. each. Same 

 design in metal, at 2s. 6d. each, but the latter can only be ob- 

 tained to order. The Hion. Editor would be glad to hear from 

 intending pui-chasers, so that as large an order may be placed as 

 possible. 



Club Breeding Medals: It would appear that three have 

 been won already, as follow: — 



Captain Rice — Diuca Finches — first time in Great Brittajn. 



Captain Rice — Mexican Buntings— first time in Great Brittain. 



M. R. Pauvvels — Silver- eared Mesia — first time m captivity. 



If any member knows of any previous record of young of 

 the above species having been reared in this country, will !they 

 please notify the Hon. Editor at once, otherwise, after an account 

 has appeared in the Club Journal, medals will be awarded in due 

 course. ■ V

The diarrhoea observed during life was due to the fcecal 

 material setting up irritation of the bowel, and might have been 

 overcome if recog'nised during life by means of a few doses', of 

 castor oil, and tincture of nux vomica; also by massage and 

 some enemata of plain soapy water or glycerine. 



The chalk given assisted the constipation. 



Re Small Red Lory. (L. G. Pike). No doubt the expulsion of 

 liquid from the mouth and a fluid distension of the crop was due to
