Post Mortem Reports. 
Stanley Paeeakeet (cf)- (La Baronnc Le Clement de Tain- 
tegnies, Minehead). Prom the post mortem lesions I am of opinion 
that death followed convulsions. 
Hooded Siskin. (Geo. Scott Freeland, Tonbridge). The heart 
and liver were affected with fatty degeneration . 
Pike-tailed Pinch {cf). (Chas. H. Row, Suffolk). The 
cause of death was pneumonia. 
Geeen Avadavat (cf)- (W. A. Swayne, Dublin). The cause 
of death was pneumonia . 
Mealy Rosella (cf). (J. L. Grosmith, Bickley). Evidently 
the bird died from heart failure following an attack of convulsions. 
Red Himalayan Sun-bikd. (Geo. Scott Preeland, Tonbridge). The 
heart and liver were affected with fatty degeneration, probably result- 
ing from a previous disease. 
Gold-beeasted Waxbill (cf). (Frank Howe, Wellinborough). 
The cause of death was pneumonia and enteritis . In future try two 
drops of Tincture of Kino in the drinking water. 
GoULDiAN Finch (9). (J- Goodchild, Clare). The bird suf- 
ferred from "gout." Applying ointment to the feathers evidently 
hastened her end. 
Violet Tanagee. (Geo. Scott Preeland). The cause of death 
was enteritis. 
Blue-headed Rock-Theush. (James Yealland, Binstead). 
The cause of death was enteritis of a fchronic type. The sore feet were 
.set up by its anaemic condition .
