210 Obituary. 



I am ashamed to say that these beautiful birds are too

 is not properly regulated. They may be taught to say a few

Obituary. 



The Club has sustained a severe loss in the death of 

 Lieut. -Col. B. R. Horsbrugh, A.S.C: He had been in act- 

 ive service since! the outbreak of the war, and during this 

 period has had more than one illness. He was in action at 

 Loos and elsewhere. Only a fiew months previous to the out- 

 break of war, he presided at the Club's Annual Dinner at the 

 Holborn Restaurant, and took a keen iinlerest in the progress of 

 the F.B.C. He was a keen lover of birds, and personally 

 and otherwise imported ;tnany rare species, and did much to 

 advance the cult of Aviculture. The writer not only misses 

 a fellow member but a friend. — W.T.P. 



We tender our deepest sympathy to Mrs. Anningson 

 in her great bereavement, her husband. Dr. B. Anningson; 

 having passed away on July 19th after a long illness. — Ed.
