cross-niutod pair of Riifus-I)ack6ul Pi^'don and White Java Dove, 
with two of tlieir pi-ogeii>, one only a S(]ueakei', the latter only 
survived tlie journey one day, but the other and the parent birds 
are doin,i; well in the aviary of Mr. HufJTKitt, who with Mr. Sutcliffe 
are kindly housing my birds while new aviaries are being erected. 
From the description sent me and the body of the Squab I gather 
that they about e(iually favoui- both parents, but a detailed 
description will appear in a near issue. 
Stella's Lory : Mr. Brook, in answer to my enquiries 
informs me that the young chick is doing well and the feathers 
ai*e just beginning to shoot — the beak appears to be black — the 
chick is being reared by the male parent, the hen unfortunately 
dying with a lump of saml in the bowel, which she was unable to 
pass. A second pair of this species have two newly hatched 
chicks and are feeding well. 
Hybrid Cardinals : Our esteemed member M. Arnstein 
has had a hybrid Red-crested x Green Cardinal fully reared in his 
aviary — the egg was left with the Cardinals for ten days, then 
transferred to a hen Siskin, who successfully hatched it out and 
reai-ed it up to the twelfth day, when M. Arnstein completed the 
task by hand- feeding on De Von Nightingales' Food soaked in 
luke warm water — a description and further details will be given 
in next issue. This cross has not previously been reared. 
Our esteemed member B. Hamilton Scott, has also been 
successful and two hybrid Red-crested x Pope Cardinal chicks 
will soon be ready to leave the nest — this cross has been reared 
on more than one occasion previously. 
Starling Crosses, etc. : Our esteemed meml)er P. 
Gosse has a Rosy Pastor {3 ) mated with a Malabar Mynah ( ? ? ) 
which have built, but so far no eggs have been laid. Mr. Gosse 
has also had a clutch 12 Californian Quail eggs hatched out under 
a Bantam hen — the chicks are doing well. 
Foreign Birds : Owing to change of residence, I have 
found it impossible to include an instalment of " Foreign Birds " 
in current issue ; it will be resumed in August issue. 
Correction : The generic name under the figure of White- 
eared Scops Owl (in June issue) should be Scops and not Glaucid- 
iuin as printed. 
A Deserved Honour : i am sure most of our members 
will be pleased to note the well deserved recognition of Mr. H. W.
