NOTES FROM THE ZOO.


By J. Lewis Bonhote.


It is proposed to give, month by month, a list of the new

bird arrivals at the Zoological Society's Gardens in Regent’s

Park, together with a few notes on any that may call for attention.

These notes are written mainly for those aviculturists whose time

in London may be limited, that they may be able to see what is

of most interest to them in a minimum of time.
