Our article on the Display of the King Bird-of- 
Paradise, by Sir William Ingram, further reminds us 
that in the course of the year both Birds-of-Paradise 
and Humming-birds have been successfully imported 
and exhibited in the Gardens of the Zoological 
Society of London; while another article, on 
Columba unicincta, furnished by Mr. Seth-Smith, 
the Secretary of the Avicultural Society, recalls to 
our minds the very useful work done for our science 
by Aviculturists. 
As will be seen from our obituary, death has been 
sadly busy in the ranks of the Union during the past 
twelvemonth, and in particular the whole world is 
the loser by the decease of Professor Newton, almost 
immediately after the conclusion of his great work 
‘ Ootheca Wolleyana.’ 
Lastly, we must not fail to congratulate in hearty 
terms our friends on the other side of the North Sea 
on the formation of the Danish Ornithologists’ Union 
and on the publication of the first number of their 
Journal,
