AN IMPORTANT CONSIGNMENT. 



Just on point of going to press we learn of a large 

 consigimient of animals and birds for the London dealer, Mr. J. 

 Hamlyn. The birds include rare and uncommon Flycatchers, 

 Fruitsuckers. Finches. Mynahs. Crows, etc., and a good crowd 

 of the commoner species. Some of those landed are very 

 beautiful and brightly plumaged species. We regret also to 

 hear of many rarities lost en route. We should be glad if some 

 member who has seen the birds would send us notes of 

 same. — Ed.
