The L.C.B.A. Show. 
ing species were also stajEfeil, vi/,. : Euler's Diuca, Yellowish, White- 
throated and Mexican Eose-Finches ; Euddy, Eock, and Hair-crested 
Buntings; Desert Bullfinclies, etc. 
190. Doves. Quails, Etc. (2). The reason of the 
failure of this class evidently is, that snch species are kept 
in aviaries and are very wild when caged— for good number.s 
of many species of foreign Doves and Quails are kept in 
captivity, and many species breed regularly in their owner's 
aviaries. ' i / 
1 W. J. C. Frost, Douglas Qmil; 2 J. S'chliiter, pair Diamond 
Doves, perfect, might have been first. 
191. A.S. Sugar and Sunbieds (11). I have already 
noted Mr. Ezra's fine team of Sunbirds (see Dec. " B.ISr.") 
and it only remains to say tbat all the others were objects' of 
beauty and interest; their condition and exquisite plumag.? 
being beyond praise. With birds of such elegant and grace- 
ful form; combined with brilliant metallic plumage, it is not 
surprising that they were the centre of attraction of the Show. 
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and many specials, A. Ezra; Southern Mala- 
chite, Greater Amethyst, Les.ser Double-collared, Amethyst -rumped, 
and Black -'breasted Yellow -'backed Sunbirds, a grand quintet, beyond 
pi-aisc from every standpoint; 6 Lady K. Filkinglon, exquisite Black- 
head Green Sugarbird; 7 C. T. Maxwell, good Purple Sitg-'ai-'bird 
(9), Col. J. J. Eouth exhibited here the richest coloured Gold-fronted 
Fruitsucker the writer has seen. 
192. Certain Named Tanagbrs (16): 
1, fMrs. Thyine, Maroon; 2 S. M. Townsend, exquisite Tri- 
coloui-; '\ iaiid 7 Col. Eouth, Supei-b and Scarlst; 4 Lady K. Pilking- 
ton; Blue; .5 C. T. M ixwell, Scarlet; 6 Miss M. Bousfield, Maroon — 
all good and beautiful birds. 
193. A.O. Tanagees (12). Contained many beautiful 
and uncommon species, some of which were very hardly 
treated, among which I may mention Lady K. Pilkington's 
Blue and Black and Black-cheeked Tanagers. both perfect,,i 
yet unnoticed; also Mi'. S. M. Townsend's superb Black-backed 
and Colonel Routh's Golden -shouldered Euphonia. The plao- 
ings certainly gave ris3 to considerable comment. 
1 A. Ezra, g^ood pair Peti'e's cock, not yet full colour, very 
lucky; 2 and 4 Miss M. Bou«field, White-capped and Festive; 3 C. 
T. iM'axwell, Eed and Black {PJilogolfhrwupis cruentata), unique, but 
tail a little rough; 5, S. M: Townsend, Black -backed, perfect, clean 
rich colour, hardly used; 6 Mrs. Sevastopoulo, Eufous-throated Sug'ar-
