Redstart and Blue Robin hens, due to the abnormal ardour 
of their mates If more is to be said about the above, some 
other pen must tell the story. 
Dr. E.\ston Scott's Aviaries: I cannot do justice 
to those aviaries in the space at my disposal, and I hope at 
some near date to figure them with photos and ground plans. 
The main aviary is on the lawn, a large enclosure some 
60 X 36 feet,, with a shelter about 18 x 12 feet (these are 
approximate measurements and probably underestimated), the 
flight is laid out as a garden, with a shrubbery all round, 
then a gravel Avalk, the centre patch l>eing a grass-plot 
with a small fountain and pool in the centre; the internal 
standards are adorned with roses, hops, and other climbers — 
the whole effect being most picturesque and pleasing. On 
previous occasions I have sat on the centre grass-plot with 
Dr. and Mrs. Scott and watched the birds disporting around 
us, without dislurbing them in the least or preventing them 
visiting and feeding their families. In this aviai'y bave been 
bred and reared to maturity Blue {Taiiagra ejnscopus) and 
Scarlet (Rhumphocoeliis brasilius) Tanagers, the only ones 
of their kind bred in Gi'eat Britain. At the time of our 
visit (April 8t]i) the Scarlet Tanagers already had a beauti- 
fully constructed, cup-shaped nest, in the fork of a laurel bush 
and were busily engaged in the duties of incubation. Here 
also are annually reared Gouldian and other Grassfinches, and 
on more than one occasion success has been all but obtained 
witli Violet-eared Waxbills and Rufous -throated Blue Sugar- 
liirds. Full reference, however, can only be made in an
