ill cages and dealers shojis, and ill more tlian one ca<(e at the Palace there 
were eggs to be seen. I see from a recent copy of the Die Gefuderte Welt 
that this species is called in (jeriiiaiiy the iiiown-cheeked Lovebird, whicli 
is certainly a more appropriate cognomen than its popnlar name in this 
country. In one short year this species from being almost unknown have 
become almost common and will probably supplant in the near future in 
many aviaries the ubiquitous Budgerigar. There were also on exhibit five 
Blue-crowned Hanging Parrots {Z.o;7V!////j- ^a4>7</(/i), neither of which was in 
mature plumage.

common exhibits were gathered together here, and I refrain from giving 
any priority in these notes; probably no two judges would place them alike. 
Black-throated T/Orikeet {Trichnglossics ?tigrigula> is), a beautiful and 
uncommon species having somewhat the appearance of a Swaiiisoii or Red- 
collar but with the head and throat bronz.y-ljlack, and a light green collar 
round back of neck. Rlack-winged I,ory (£'('? cyanogenys), a very handsome 
species which we hope to figure during the course of this volume. At the 
present time I only know of two specimens in this country, both in the 
possession of our members Messrs. Millsum and H. J. I5rook ; it is a verj- 
beautiful species not quite so garish as many of the I,oriidse, its hues 
being deep and rich. Kqually beautiful were Mr. Beaty's pair of Pileated 
Parrakeets (Porphyj-ocepkalus spurius), which also were very rare in this country 
till the arrival of the consigiiiiient brought over by ^lessrs. Payne and. 
Wallace in the spring of last year. Rock Grass Parrakeets {/Vtjo/^^wa petro- 
phila), were a beautiful pair of birds and of great interest, especially to those 
able to give breeding accommodation, in fact the whole genus are chastely 
beautiful and of great interest aviculturally, but very few come to hand and 
only at long intervals, and we fear ver}' soon most of the species will be 
extinct. Other beautiful exhibits were Stanley Parrakeets [Platycercus 
icteiotis), Violet-necked Lory (not yet in full colour), King Parrakeet 
(Aprosmictus cyanopygiiis), Purple-Capped Lory (Lorins domicella) and a good 
Litieolated Parrakeet. 
I, Maxwell, Black-throated Lorikeet, an exquisite exhibit; 2, 4, 5, Millsum, Black-wing 
Lory, very rare and in finest condition ; 4th, Stanley Parrakeets ; 5tli, Purple-cap Lory, 
very tame and good talker, a beautiful team ; 3, Beaty, good pair Pileated Parrakeets ; vhc, 
he. Maxwell, good Kock Grass Parrakeet, an unconnnon exhibit and an interesting .species 
which usually seems to be hardly treated by the Judge; he, good .Stanley Parrakeet; c. 
Watts, nice young Lineolated Parrakeet.
