Nothing actually novel in thi.s clas.s, but all the prize 
winners were exceptionally good, of rich colour and very tight 
in plumage. Mr. Tovvnsend's Blue-crowned Hanging Parrot 
being quite one of the finest ever exhibited. Mrs. Miller's Guiana

Lovebirds having in tlie short space of little more than a year
