Tragopans, Manchurian Crassoptilons, and Peacock Pheasants ; also 

 a pair of Vulturine Guinea Fowls. These, with a cock and two hens 

 of the Jungle Fowl (Gall us banklva), the wild species whence our 

 domestic varieties of poultry have been derived by selective breeding, 

 bring the stock of gallinaceous birds up to the standard, and give 

 promise, granted favourable weather, of better results in the way of 

 breeding than have been achieved for many years in the Gardens.

OBITUARY. 



We regret to record the death of Chaeles Golding Barrett, who 

 was born at Colyton, Devon, on May 5th, 1836, and passed away on 

 the 11th of last December. Mr. Barrett was a well-known British 

 lepidopterist, and contributed a number of notes on his favourite study 

 to ' The Zoologist ' in the late fifties and early sixties of the last century. 

 His principal publication is a series of volumes — alas ! unfinished — on 

 * The Lepidoptera of the British Islands,' a work remarkable by the 

 wealth of recorded observations on the life-histories of these insects. 

 He was a most amiable and unobtrusive man, sincerely attached to his 

 study, which he loved for its own sake, and consequently derived a real 

 pleasure from it.
