Black-headed Lined Finch, Tropical Seed-eater, and a rare 

 Black-cheeked Tanager {Calliste cyanea), this latter I believe to 

 be the first living specimen to reach this countrj-, and was 

 imported by our esteemed member, Mr. E. W. Harper. 



In this hurriedly written account I have noted the birds as 

 I happened to remember them, not attempting any given 

 order or a complete list. 



In conclusion I must mention that for two or three years I 

 kept the Budgerigars and other Parrakeets with the Finches, 

 but in the end I had to separate them and they now occupy 

 another enclosure, there were too many broken limbs, and 

 slain fledglings to keep them together, though so far as I could 

 trace, the Budgerigars alone were the offenders.

The Editor has written me, on more than one occasion, for 

 an article for Bifd Notes, but owing to frequent absences, I 

 have not been able till now to comply with his request. His 

 last appeal is since Christmas, and as I am at home till after 

 New Year's day, and he says on what subject — " Redrumps" — 

 he would like a few notes, I am lurrrying up and sending the 

 following. But as most of what I have to say here has alread}' 

 appeared elsewhere, and may have been seen b)' some of my 

 readers, I am afraid it will only prove to be what we call in 

 French du rechauffe. Anyway, it must be taken for what it is
