Editorial Corrections



BREEDING OF GANG-GANG COCKATOOS


Sirs, —With reference to the announcement signed by F. G. Hedges,

in our issue of November, 1921, it is perhaps advisable and more

correct to inform members that the Gang-gang Cockatoos are the

property of Madame Lecallier, or rather one of the parents is hers,

and I fancy I am correct in stating that the other belongs to Monsieur

Delacour. F. G. Hedges is bird-keeper to Madame Lecallier.


Hubert D. Astley.



EDITORIAL NOTES


Mr. Meade-Waldo writes : There are two clerical errors to my

article on Coloration and Voices of Owls in the number of the

Avicultural Magazine for December, 1921, that should be corrected.

In the first paragraph, line 3, Brown should, of course, be Barn, and in

the second paragraph, line 2, Melanistic should be Melanism .”


Mr. Astley’s letter about the breeding of the Gang-gang Cockatoo,

the publication of which was postponed until the present issue, was

announced in our last number as appearing on p. 186.


Oar illustrations of the Gang-gang Cockatoo published on pp. 8

and 9 of this issue are printed from blocks kindly lent by Monsieur

Delacour.
