A List of the Zoological Gardens of the World. 
By Capt. S. Flower. This List appeared first in the Zoologist for 
May, 1909. It is very coinprelieiisive, interesting, practical, and 
will undoubtedl}' be much used for reference. In most instances 
the name of tlie Gardens, management and Superintendent are 
given. It is illustrated with two good photos of views in the 
Giza Zoological Gardens, of which the author (our esteemed 
member) is Director. 
]£t)itonal. 
The Nesting of Gkey-winged Ouzels : At the third 
attempt my pair of this species has successfully reared two 
strong young birds, which as I write this aie enjoying their 
initial flights. I am of the opinion that this is the first time they 
have been successfully reared in captivity, though probably Mr. 
H. D. Astle\^ may have scored over me by a day or two. The 
Zoo, Mr. H. D. Astley and myself all procured pairs from Capt. 
G. A. Perreau last summer, all three pairs have made several 
abortive attempts this season, but as regards actual success I 
think I am ahead of the Zoo, but do not know at time of writing 
how Mr Astley has fared with the species. I shall hope to give 
a full account in next issue.* 
Nesting Notes : Better results are coming in from 
members at present, though disappointments are still very 
numerous, owing to the inclement weather and heavy rains. 
Mr. W. E. Teschemaker has successfully reared Blue Grosbeaks, 
Rufous-backed Mannikins, Jerdon's Accentors and Blackcaps, 
all, I believe, for the first time in this country; also the Sul- 
phury Seedeater, and has young broods of Grey-headed Sparrows 
and Giant Whydahs. 
Mr. R. Suggitt has also bred the Blackcaps, two strong 
yomig birds being on the wing about a fortnight later than Mr. 
Teschemaker's. These were reared entirely on live gentles, but 
since they have been on the wing have been fed on fruit also. 
* Just on going to pre.s.s we learn tliat the Zoo has also bred this 
species, two young left the nest on .■\ngust the 4th, two days later than my 
])Hir of fledgelings. I\Ir. A.stley has had no success with his pair, which 
nested and laid but did not hatch out.
