Aviary No. 2: This is a slip 10 x 6 feet taken out of 
aviary No. 1, the arrangement of which is clearly indicated on 
plan . Its occupants are a pair of Eed -collared Lorikeets (Tricho- 
glossitti ruhritorqups), which had been out of doors all the 
winter, and were in perfect condition and beautiful p'lumage, 
forming a most attractive spectacle as they performed won- 
derful acrobatic feats within the precincts of their enclosure, 
ever and anon playing with each other like monkeys. 
Aviary No. 3: This is really one of the most, if not the 
mosi important of the series, as it contains the gems of Dr. 
Lovell-Keays' Passerine series. A reference to the photos 
and plan will make all clear as to its general arrangement, 
and ver> few explanations are necessary. A glance at the 
photos will show that ingress and egress is gained by means 
of dro]-: windows — this system applies to aviaries Nos. 3 to 
7, and is shown most clearly in the photo of Aviary No. 6. 
The centre doors are mainly for attendance purposes. The 
shelter of this aviary is divided in+o two by a service passage; 
at the end of the passage is overhead communication between 
the two flights, which can be cut off by sliding doors, wlien 
required, as sepaiate flights for winter housing of various 
species. A i-adiator at the top of the service passage keeps 
up a comfortable temperature during the winter months. The 
shrubberies in the outer flight have grass margins and are 
planted with Jasmine, Ivy, Aucuba, Elder, Retinospora, Privet, 
Honeysuckle, Bush and Rambler Roses, Apple, Hawthorn, Wil- 
low, Kerria, Clematis, etc. Docks, and similar herbage are in- 
serted in suitable positions and the result is practical and 
picturesque.
