Foreign Birds at the L.C.B.A. Shoiv. 
Black-cheeked and I'each-faccd Lovebirds, the former very rich colour and 
in perfect condition; 4, 5, A. Silver, Blae-win<red (Passerine Parrakcets) 
Lovebirds, and Madagascar Lovebirds, the latter very fine, but x^rtaiiily 
a trifle lucky. 
Clasps 158. A.O.S. Parrots, iNfT.unixG Eclix'ti (14). 
Here were staged the most interesting of the Parrots. The 
rarest being the Short-tailed Parrot {Pachynu^ hrarhinini.-?^. 
Avhich, T think, is new to the show-liencli : its haliitat is 
the Upper Amazons and Ecuador. Two pairs of Meyer's 
Parrots were staged: one pair (1st) had the yellow areas on 
head and wing large and clearly defined, the other pair (.Trd) 
having no yellow on the head, and were either a distinct local 
race, of which there are quite a number, or immatiii-e liii'ds, the 
green of the upper abdomen being much mottled. 
1, Rev. G. H. Eaynor, pair Meyer's Parrots, rich colour and 
perfect; 2, C. T. Maxwell, very fine Black-headed Cairiue CCaica ineliinoce- 
phala). also known as the White-breasted I'arrot, beautiful ami iiuc'inunon ; 
3, Miss A. B. Smyth, pair Meyer's Parrots, sood condition. Iiut- evidently 
in immature plumage; 4, Mrs. Frost, richly coloured Senegal Parrot; .'j, 
Mrs. Moore, Short-tailed Parrot, rare but not in show condition: 0, .1. 
Frostick, good Eclectus; 7, Miss D. Thynne, Hed-vented Parrot. 
Class 159. Green Budgerigars (12). This freely 
imported but really beautiful species perhaps merits the title 
of everyliody's bird more than any other species. While all 
were good, well feathered and mostly large birds, there was 
a great difference in depth of colour and regularity and deHni- 
tion of markings, the 1st Iveing a grand j-air of biids, with 
2nd and 3rd pretty close up.

Cl.\.ss 160. Certatn Named Parrakeets (1(5). Here 
were staged three species — Euops, Aztec, and Brown -fronted 
Conures, all first appearances — the former {Cojuuns et/ops) was 
figured in colour and fully described in last vol. " B.N.," tlie 
Aztec (C azicc), rare Ivut not an attractive species, while the 
third (C. octdaris) differs but little from the fairly well known 
Brown -throated Conure. Comment must be made upon the 
splendour of Dr. Lovell-Keays' exquisite Malabar Parrakeet — 
" spick and span," " immaculate masher," but feebly describe 
its condition; the colouration was rich and pure, beautifully 
blended, the delicate tracery of the wings too lovely foi- woi'ds, 
perfect bloom, and every feather l.ving tight as if waxed. A 
most interesting array.
