Toucan, illustrating au article ou these biivis by the Editor 

 and Mrs. C F. Leach. 



It is difficult to uuderstaud how aviculturists have 

 managed to keep their aviaries full in these trying times, 

 but Mr. Page appears to have been able to arrange for the 

 private importation o£ a number of Indian birds consigned 

 to him by Mr. E. W. Harper, and a series of articles deals 

 with those species which have already reached this country 

 and have been distributed among members of the Foreign 

 Bird Club and the Avicultural Society. 



The indefatigable Dr. Hopkinson has commenced a series 

 of articles on the African Whydahs with their English and 

 scientific synonymy and their avicultural history, which will 

 no doubt be of the greatest assistance to those who keep 

 living examples of these attractive birds. 



Mr. H. Whitley writes on his success in getting the 

 Sulphur-crested Cockatoo (Cacatua galerita) to breed for 

 the first time in this country "in a state of controlled 

 liberty," and has been awarded the Club's medal. 



There are many other articles of interest to members of 

 the Club from the pens of Miss Chaloner, the Marquis 

 of Tavistock, Mr. W. Shore Baily, Mr. H. E. Bright, and 

 the Editor ; while Lieut. F. Dawson-Smith and Dr. N. S. 

 Lucas send accounts of their experiences of bird-life at the 

 western front. 



Finally, we regret to see the announcement of the death 

 of Lt.-Col. G. A. Perreau, a frequent contributor to the 

 pages of this journal as well as to the ' Avicultural Magazine.' 

 He was killed in action during the attack on Bagdad in 

 March 1917. 



The Condor. 



[The Condor. A Magazine of Western Ornithology. \o\. xix. for 

 1917 ; 6 nos.] 



Tlie present volume of the 'Condor' is devoted almost 

 entirely to the bird-life of western America, but it contains 

 a number of articles that should interest and instruct even 

 those of us who dwell elsewhere.
