 throughout the markings and barrings of the Cutthroat arc 

 easily disthiguished, but both in male and female the creamy 

 spots on the undersurfaee are very distinct. The hybrids are 

 errtainiN handsome, i;old looking birds. They should be fer- 

 tik', and 1. hope our member will attempt to breed from them 

 next season. I believe Mr. H. Bright has also bred several 

 this season, and an exchange should enable a double attempt 

 to be made with unrelated birds — 4th prize. 



Faksox X Loxo-TAiLKi) Geassfinch: These wore an 

 interesting pair, bred and shown by our member, Mr. R. S. 

 de Q. Quincey, but In almost every phase they wex'e inter- 

 mediate between their parents; beaks tlusky red, feet red, 

 — 3rd prize. 



HooDKi) SisKix (ChfjiHoniilriH ci(ctiUala) ^^ (^avakv: 

 This hybrid, presumably a hen, was bred and shown !)y llie 

 Rev. J. Paterson. It was somewhat nondesciipt as to colour, 

 the only trace of the bery red of the male parent being in tlie 

 rnddy b-rown niai'gins to the fealhefs oJ' the upper surface, in 

 form the Siskin was the moi'e dominaid, in size it was inter- 

 mediate. — (ith prize. 



Greexfinch X Mexican Rosefinch: Exhibited and 

 presumably bred by our member, Mr. L. M. Wade. h\ ap- 

 pearance and form this byl.rid stronuly resembles a hen Green- 

 linch, but alx)ve the deep brown of the male parent {Carpodacus 

 m-xicctiiiis) was intermingled with the colour and markings of the 

 Greenfinch; on the forehead, fore-crown, sides of face, chin and 

 throat, the ruddy hues of the Roselinch were replaced ivy pah? 

 ruddy -buff.
