pair of emus laid and the male attended his incubation duties 
faithfully for about four weeks, when he gave up his vigil. The 
eggs promptly were placed in an incubator at the nursery and 
under the care of Mr. E. A. Costain, two young birds were 
hatched. One was deformed and soon died, but the other pro- 
gressed well under Mr. Costain’s care and when about one month 
old, was transferred to the Ostrich House. Here, with careful 
nursing by Keeper Snyder, it was safely reared, our first success 
with incubator emus. 
One number of Zoologica, “Eclipse Plumage in Domestic 
Fowl,” was prepared by the Curator and published on October
