It may be of iiitorosf. to romaik i-e tliose cross-mated 
pairs tliat T was uiiablo to olilaiii iiiatos for tho Cape and 
Cinnamon Tree Spari'ows, so inti'orluoed common House Spar- 
rows, but tiioy never paired and in eonsequence there was no 
I'osrJt, save the incubation of infertih' eggs. I quite expect 
to gel hybrids next season. 
As regards the Mealy x Red EoseUa Parrakeets, the 
lattei- liird was qliite young, being only ten months old; she 
laid six eggs, but proved very unsteady on the nest, and I am 
hoping she may do better next year. 
The mating of the Alartinican x Pea Doves proved most 
successful which, considering how closely these two species 
must be related, was only to be expected. The principal 
difference between the two species lies in the white wing-bar,
