(1) The birds must be sent immediately after death. 
(2) They must be packed in a box. 
(3) The Letter accompanying them must not be placed in the 
box along with the bird. 
(N.B. — Unless the above conditions are complied with the pack- 
ages will be destroyed without examination). 
(4) The letter must detail as far as possible all particulars

(fl) Date of death. 
(6) Length of illness, 
(c) Symptoms of illness. 
{d) Lodgment and feeding of birds, and 
(e) Especially as to whether egg food or inga seed has been

(5) The work will be done gratuitously, and a report pub- 
lished in Bird Notes, but under no circumstances whatever will a report 
be sent by post unless a fee of 2s. 6d. accompanies the letteri andi

rule, and it applies to all Members, whether they are personally ac- 
quainted with him or not.
