Nesting Notes : Brfedin^ results are a little better, but 
iu)i numy definite results have been sent in : — 
Jacarini Finches iVolatinia jacarini) -. Our esteemed 
member Mr. R. Sug^itt has succeeded in breeding this species, and 
two strong young birds are on the wing in his out-door aviary at 
Cleethorpes. This is the first time this species has been bred in 
Great Britain, of which we shall hope to have an account in our 
next issue, and consequently Mr. Suggitt is entitled to the Club's 
medal by his success. The female parent was imported by our 
esteemed member Mr. E. W. Harper, and until comparatively 
recently was the only iemaie iii tiiis country, now some half- 
dozen specimens are distributed among various aviculturists, and 
the Zoo I think now possess one specimen. 
Tanagbrs : Several interesting records may be given re 
this beautiful family, indicating to the optimist at any rate that 
several species may be successfully reared in the near future. 
First and foremost I must record the very nearly successful breed- 
ing of the Blue Tanager by our esteemed member Mr. A. Sutclilfe
