Green Singing Finch. (Mrs. MacAdam). Pneumonia was 

 the cause of death. I hope in the near future to write a 

 paper on this di.sease. 



WONGA-WONGA Pigeon. (Mr. Castle-Sloane). Several of this 

 gentleman's doves have been dying lately after very short 

 illnesses. In this bird pneumonia was present, and as this 

 is an infections disease — belonging to the septic group of 

 diseases — it is highly probable that the others had died of 

 the same trouble. 



Canary. (Miss Hincks). This bird was sent to me alive, 

 suffering from a swelling on the face, which proved to be a 

 colloid growth originating from the orbit of the eye. No 

 treatment would have availed.
