Post Mortem Examinations.



Australia and during the voyage had lived on canary-seed and soaked bread.

It had quite a melodious warbling song, and seemed to be doing well, but

one day, about three weeks after its arrival, it was discovered dead on the

floor of the aviary, having died apparently from the results of a fit.

In Dr. Butler’s paper on the Grey-winged Ouzel published in August

(p. 314) for ‘By the 2nd of June’ read ‘By the 2nd of July.’

Moustache Parrakeet. '(Mrs. Williams). The bird died of enteritis of

the contagious form. Watch for any birds ailing and isolate at

once.


Amazon Parrot. (Mr. Bull). Your bird died of inflammation of the
