takeover that old favourite the Nonpareil Biintiii(i, as it does not 
lose the riclmess of its lines in captivity. Another beautiful 
species, which also has been previoush' described in our pages, 
was Mrs, Galloway's Black-faced Serin, in the writer's opinion the 
most beautiful of all the Serins, really a much to l)e desired 
species; the same may be said for Mrs. Millei's fine Hooded 
Siskin. 
TanaGKRS (8) ; Only a small number of entries, but nearly every one 
of them luiique, althouj^h they have all been on the bench one or more 
season.s and coii.sequenlly have already been desciihed in our pages. Mr. 
Maxwell carried off mo.st of the honours here, viz. ; i, Sp., 2, and 3, wilh 
four really grand ))irds, beautiful beyond description — Rufous-throated, 
Black-throated, Spotted Emerald and Maroon Tana<(ersiu the order given ; 
V.H.C., Mr. Towusend and Mrs. Maher, faultless Magpie and Tricolour 
Tanagers respectively ; H.C., Mrs. K. L. Miller, beautiful vSlriated 
Tanager, not yet moulted out its tail or would have been higher, very 
miconnnon. 
.Sugar Birds, HonrykaTKRs, etc. (9) : i, V.H.C., H.C., Towusend 
wonderful Yellow-winged vSugar Bird ; V.H.C., Red-eared Bulbul and H.C. 
Black-faced Sugar Bird (?) ; 2, Millsum, Blue-winged Bulbul; 3, Black- 
faced Sugar Bird ; V.H.C., Mrs. Galloway, Blue .Sugar Bird ; H.C, 
Rattigan, hen of the same species ; C, Puck, Gold-fronted Hulbul. 
All truly gorgeous birds, but Mr. Townsend's Yellow- 
winged Sugar Bird is one of the richest coloured specimens I 
have ever seen, its condition faultless, too beautiful for descrip- 
tion ; it is now in its fourth season. Veiy welcome was the re- 
appearance of the Blue-winged Bulbul, a species which has not 
been seen on the bench for some j'ears, and Mr. Millsum is to be 
congratulated on so beautiful a possession. All the genus Chlor- 
opsis (Green Bulbuls) are unsurpassed as cage-birds, and are 
equally beautiful and desirable in the aviary.* Equally beautiful 
were the other exhibits and all in most excellent condition. 
A. O S. Smatj.kr than King Bird of Paradise (14): One of the 
most interesting Classes seen for uiany years, containing many unique and 
beautiful birds. l, Sp., Millsum, a Levaillant's Barbet, unique on the Show

capped Redstart and Great-billed Flycatcher, two perfect specimens ; 
4, Dewliurst, pair of Coleys ; V. H. C, Puck, good Shania ; Miller, 
Verditer Flycatcher ( ? ), a great rariety ; Mrs. Miller, Ruby-throated
