ORNITHOLOGICAL NOTES FROM A SOUTH LONDON SUBURB. 
BUDGERIGAR, 
On August 11th, 1876, one flew very low over Kenning. 
ton Oval whilst a cricket match was in progress; the only 
record. 
ROSELLA. 
On August roth, 1896, | found one feeding on the ser- 
vice berries in a neighbour’s garden. ‘This it continued to 
do happily until an immature Cuckoo alighted on the same 
tree, upon which the Parakeet attacked the new-comer vici- 
ously, chasing it for some distance, and all the time frequently 
uttering a harsh note of anger. 
BLUE MOUNTAIN LORY (?) 
This, a large bird with blue head, yellow neck, and 
ereenish body, was for some time in a etal limes tree; amiemy, 
garden on May 28th, 1893; and on 7th August, 1902, another 
example alighted on a poplar close by. 
TUdebip, ALL-GREEN ” PARAKEET. 
A greenish bird, larger than a Budgerigar, with a cry like 
ia ie 7 
caak” and having a very Cuckoo- like flicht, I have noted 
as many as six times. In. each case they were solitary ex- 
amples, and were observed on the following dates :—Novem- 
ber ith, 1889; September roth, 1894; August 27th, 1807; 
and tune 26th, 1899,—all these passed over my garden. In 
Dulwich Park, I saw. a specimen, October 18th, 1893. This 
bird was in a bush; in the following April, I saw one flying 
over the same park. 
CANARY. 
Several escapes have come under my notice. In August, 
1877, I saw a fine yellow bird in a tree in Water Lane, Brix- 
ton. On May 3rd, 1801, I caught a blotched male bird on 
my aviary, and at the same place a female of the same type 
on December 11th, 1895. On June 5th, 1806, I observed a 
greenish specimen on the grass in St. James’ Park.
