The “egg yolk ” of the same excellent quality as formerly, can be

obtained at 371, Essex Road, Islington ; but whether the firm trading under

the name of J. Abrahams continues to supply the well-known “ Mixture” I

cannot say. W. H. ST. QuinTin.



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, Lauherue, 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.


Female Bengalee. (Mr. Jay R. Drummond Hay.) Apoplexy was the

cause of death.


Pair Standby Parrakeets. (Rev. H. D. Astley.) The male died of

concussion of the brain from an injury to the base of brain caused bv

the bird’s beak coming in contact with some hard substance. The

second bird died from a small punctured wound caused apparently

from a fine tack or wire and suggests to me that being frightened it

flew up against a sharp pointed nail or piece of wire.

cause of death.


Rose era. (Mrs. M. Lee.) Bird died of acute enteritis.
