164 Foreign Birds. 
Mr. Astley's Nightingales did not favour nie with their 
exquisite melody. 
Our native avifauna is also largely represented in the park, 
various marshy areas of which, particularly supply accommodation 
for many uncommon species, and I am hoping that at no distant 
date Mr. Astley will give us some account of the species nesting 
on the estate (Sir R. Sutton's), also some account of the uncommon 
species occupying the aviaries. 
I feel that some apology is due to the meml)ers for the 
length of these notes, my excuse must be that I have sought to 
make them of more than passing interest, with I hope some small 
measure of success.

CHAPTER III.— Sub-family EUPHONIIN^]. 
Chlorophonia : The members of this sub-family all need 
careful treatment as new arrivals and should be put on the general 
diet already given. They must for some weeks be kept in strict 
quarantine and have alibei'al supply of milk sop, containing either 
Mellin's Food or Scott's Emulsion. 
If living specimens of ChlnrojiJioH in and Etijihutiiri are com- 
pared it will be seen at once that the two genera are almost iden- 
tical, practically the brilliant grass-greens of GJtlorojj/ion.ia are the 
principal distinction, which however is sufficiently striking to 
obviate all difficulty in placing them ; structurally they are 
almost identical, the same also applies to their geographical range. 
Chloraphonia ranges from S. Mexico to S. Brazil and Bolivia. 
There is another difficulty also with this genus and that is 
popular names to identify them by, at present the whole nine 
species (that is such as have been imported, as to how many 
species have already reached reached this country alive. I shall 
not attempt to state, as identification — apart from comparing the 
living birds with named skins — is difficult indeed) are pojiularly 
known as All Green or Necklace Tanagers, but I shall attempt to 
give them popular names, using the B.M.C. key to the si)ecies as a 
base perhaps I had better quote the key in extenm and put 
the suggested popular name alongside the species, reserving the
