Class IGl. A.S. Lokies, v:tc. (7). The rarest l>ir(l here 
was Mr. Maxwell's beautiful Red-fronted Lorj' {Clialcopsittacns 
scintill(i)is); though rare this species has appeared on the 
show-l>eneli ou several previous occasions, while all were 
good, the deptii of colour in some of the Red-collared Ijorikeets 
was very line. A rare display of fiery tropical hues.

Class 1G3. Gkass Parkakeets, Etc. (2). Only two 
entrants, but both exquisite, Miss L. Clare taking premier 
position with her well known pair of Queen Alexandra Parra- 
keets, and Miss A. B. Smyth following with the most perfect 
Bourke's Parrakect the writer has ever seen. 
Class 164. Certain Colour Varieties (9). Not 
calling for special comment, but the writer would suggest 
that breeders of Yellow Budgerigars should aim at getting the 
colour pure and eliminating the wing lacing as far as possible, 
or go for the two varieties, viz., a self-yellow as near as

1, a. J. Shipton, good pair Yellow Budgerigars, good body colour, 
but scaling on wings rather distinct ; 2, 4, 5, 6, A. Silver, Fawn and 
White Bengalese. pair Yellow Budgerigars (not so pure a colour as above), 
Chocolate and White Bengalese, and White Java Sparrows, the latter pure,

but not so large as above, 7, Miss J. E. Smyth, Choc, and White
