fully explained the necessity for the change of name, but although this was

printed, corrected and approved, it has not been published in Vol. I., which

the plates are new.

POST MORTEM EXAMINATIONS.


RULES.


Each bird must be forwarded, as soon after death as possible, carefully packed and post¬

age paid, direct to Mr. Arthur Gill, Lanherne, Bexley Heath, Kent, and must be

accompanied by a letter containing the fullest particulars of the case, and a fee.

of 1/- for each bird. If a reply by post is required a fee of 2/6 must be enclosed.

Domestic poultry, pigeons, and Canaries can only be reported on by post.



PinTaie Nonpareie. (Miss Gladstone.) The bird died of concussion of

the brain, caused by direct injury to the top of skull.


Red Roselea. (Mrs. Lee.) The bird died of syncope. It was extremely

fat and the heart was loaded with fat. I think the sunflower seed too

fattening if given in quantity.


Shama. (Mr. Norwood.) The bird died of inflammation of the bowels.


He was having a very hard moult.
