CAGES. 



These abound in all sizes, shapes, and kinds. I can 

 only mention a few of the most useful description. 

 Aviary cage, with compartments having two moveable 

 partitions, waggon-shaped, 3 ft. 3 in., in lacquered 

 brass, $, in white wire, 3. This is a very useful 

 cage for foreign birds, as the divisions would permit 

 birds of various sizes to be kept in it : for instance, a 

 number of tiny Waxbills, etc., might inhabit the centre, 

 and Australian Finches, or Diamond and Cutthroat 

 Sparrows, Indigo Bird, Nonpareil, Madagascar Bird, 

 or Bishop Birds might live in the side compartments. 

 Another pretty cage of the same kind has a dome and 

 two arches. It is 3 ft. 6 in. by 18 in., and in lacquered 

 brass costs 5, in white wire, 4. ; a smaller cage 3 ft. 

 by 1 6 in., in lacquered brass, 4, in white wire, 3. 

 A waggon-shaped cage, suitable for eight or ten pairs 

 of very small birds to live together in, 18 in. by 12 in., 

 of lacquered brass, costs 253., in white wire, 1 ; the 

 same, but smaller, 15 in. by 10 in., lacquered brass, 

 1 8s., white wire, 153. ; 13 in. by 9 in., lacquered bras?,
