Post Mortem Examinations.



Dove. (The Hon. Mrs. Hodgson). [Cerebral haemorrhage caused death

by pressure on the brain. Possibty caused by fright].



Red-faced Finch. (Mrs. Robertson). [The bird died of enteritis which

has no appearance of being the contagious form. The featherless

condition is possibly caused by some one or more of its companions

pecking at the feathers. The best way is to watch and remove the

offender or offenders. Many of the small finches acquire this habit

when caged, and if they were turned into a large aviary would, in all

probability, soon feather].


Grey Singing-finch. (Mr. Simpson). [Concussion of braiu was the

cause of death, but I should scarcely think the injury was caused bv

a bird, as too large a surface of the cranial cavity was involved. It

was a hen]. -


Orange-cheeked Waxbiel. (Miss Shepherd). [Acute inflammation of

liver and jaundice. It is not infectious],
