Sex distinctions of Gold-fronted Green Bulbul 
{C. (lurif rolls) : Our esteemed member, Mr \V. K. 'J'eschemaker, has 
a true pair of this species J do not know of any published record of 
tlie differences between the male and female plumage ; the following, 
kindly sent by Mr. Tesciiemaker in response to my enquiry, should 
therefore prove of general interest : 
The female is decidedly smaller than the male, and her beak 
more slender. 
The golden lorehead is much paler, and her upper and under tail- 
coverts are also paler than those of lier mate. 
The area of black on throat does not extend further back than a 
line dropped perpendicularly from the eye. 
Nesting Notes: ti lese promise well. From an interesting 
lettei- just to hand from our esteemed member Mr. W. R. Temple, I 
gather the following notes : 
Though the aviaries are large, very few birds are kept in them, 
so as to get best possible results. 
One large aviary contains only two pairs of Tri-coloured Parrot 
Finches {Eri^tlirura trichroa), both pairs are nesting. 
Another aviary, equally large, contains tlu'ee pairs of Painted 
Finches {Emblema ficta), and a few Bengalese, which I keep 
as foster parents. 
"In my largest aviary, which lias an outside flight 3Cft. x 24ft x 
12ft. high, I only keep 7 pairs of Parrot Finches (Erythriira psittacea), 
2 pairs Ruficaudas {Batliilda rufimuda), 2 pairs Orange breasted Wax- 
bills {Sporncginthus suhflariis), 2 pairs Pintail Nonpareils {I'Jruthrura 
prasina), and three odd birds." 
From a letter received from om- esteemed member Dr. M. Ams- 
ler, I ascertain that he has a pair of Indian Olive Finches engaged in 
the duties of incubation.
