1869. ] BIRDS IN THE SOCIETY'S GARDENS. 627 
Society’s Gardens during the previous twenty years*. To this I now 
beg leave to add a list of the birds that have produced living young 
in the Society’s Gardens during the same period, drawn up in a 
corresponding manner. 
The first Table contains the names of the species of this class that 
have bred in the Gardens from the Ist of January 1848 to the 31st 
of December 1868, arranged according to the last edition of the List 
of Vertebrates, and the number of instances in which each species 
has produced living young during this period. 
The second ‘lable gives the total-number of species that have bred 
in each order of Birds, and the corresponding number of species of 
the same order enumerated in the List of Vertebrates. A compa- 
rison of. these two columns will give some approximate idea of the 
comparative frequency of breeding in captivity in the different orders 
of this class of animals.
