Obituary. 



Dk. IIf.nrv IIirn.EY, J. P. -We regret Iiaving to an- 

 nounce the death of Dr. Pietley. a valued member of the Club 

 and it; Council, who passed away, at his residenc-e, I'pper 

 Norwood, on April 13th. He h)ecanie a member in 1908. and 

 two years later was elected to the Council. He was keenly 

 .interested in feathered and all wild life. His principal suc- 

 cesses were the successful br:'eding of Crimson and Ringed 

 t" inches in cages, his successes with these two species being the 

 first and we believe, the only times these two species have 

 been bred in cages. He was in his 66th year and will be 

 greatly missed by a Large circle of fanciers and aviculturists. 

 To Mrs. Hetley and family we tender sincere sympathy hi their 

 y reat bereavement.
