70 The L.P.0.8. National Show. 



All Species, N.O.E. — Small (8): A most interesting class, 

 but the remaikable birds have alreaJy been noted several times in our 

 pages, though it would be easy to rhapsodise at length re the Mini- 

 vet, Japanese and Loo-choo Eobins, etc., but space forbids. 



1, 2j and 3, A. Ezra, Short-billed Minivet, Loo-choo Rob- 

 in, and Japanese Redbreast, in the order given^ a rare and beau- 

 tiful trio; 4, Miss A. B. Smyth, Red-breasted Marsh Bird {LeAsl.es 

 gvianensis), an interesting exhibit and very steady for such a 

 species; v.h.c, E. Fordred, richly coloured Pekin Robin, appar- 

 ently colour fed; h.c, J. Yealland, two uncommon Hangnests, 

 probably male and female, but of different species; c, Mrs. Tat- 

 ten. Silky Cowbird. A pair of Lesser Hill Mynahs also com- 

 peted and should have been marked "wrong class." 



All Species — Large (5): Five interesting exhibits, all prac- 

 tically perfect in every way and very attractive. The Cuban Trogon 

 was much nearer the full natural colour than any I have seen, but 

 was a wee bit soft, probably not quite at home with the prevailing 

 atmospheric conditions of the Palace. 



1, J. Frostick, Hunting Cissa, an easy first, beautiful col- 

 our and very steady; 2, R. E. Simpson, Cuban Trogon {Prionotelus 

 temnurus) ; 3, E. Hattersley, Long-tailed Glossy Starling— perfect; 

 4, Hon. C. Agar-Robartes, Greater Hill Mynah— very loquacious; 

 v.h.c, Aaidrews, Bros., Green Glossy Starling — exquisite plumage.
