lent specimens, both as to colour and condition, were the Red- 
headed and Black -faced Lovebirds and Budgerigars. 
All Species of Paerakeets, Lorikeets, and Tjortes 
(14). 
1, 2, 4, and vhc, R. Pauvvels, Uvsean Parrakeet, Red-naped Lorikeets, 
Black-capped Lory, and Blue-winged Grass Parrakeets; 3 and vhc (2), C. T.

Conures ; T. Miller, Purple-capped Lory ; C. H. Row, Violet-necked Lory ; 
c, Rev. G. H. Raynor, Adelaide Parrakeet. 
A strong class, all of which maj' be classed as rare or 
uncommon, and however strongly some disagreed with the 
other placings, none will do so with the perfect specimen of the 
rare Uvajan Parrakeet which was placed first. This species, 
of which a coloured plate appeared in September issue of 
current volume of "B.N.,"is very difficult to keep, but the 
condition of this bird was beyond praise. The Black -capped 
Lory, a strikingly beautiful bird, and the Blue -winged Parra- 
keets barely got their merits, while the Red-naped Lorikeets, 
though perfect, were favoured. A good specimen of the rare 
Queen Alexandra's Parrakeet was very hardly treated. An- 
other rarity was Mitchell's Lorikeet, which, save for a speci- 
men at the Zoo, is the only other living specimen in the 
country. Yet another grand exhibit certainly not unduly 
favoured, was Mi-s. Miller's gorgeous Sun Conure, whose bril- 
liant plumage may well be likened to a glorious sunset. An 
Adelaide Parrakeet shown by the Rev. G. H. Raynor, appeared 
to the writer to be a hybrid, most probably between an .Adelaide 
and Yellow-rump. I may mention in passing, for the benefit 
of new readers, that the staple dietary of Lories and Lorikeets 
is milk -sop and ripe fruit. 
All Species of Parrots, Macaws, and Cockatoos (4). 
1, Rev. G. H. Raynor, Meyer's Parrot ; 2, Thorpe, Yellow-naped 
Amazon ; .3, H. Smith, Greater Sulphur-crested Cockatoo ; 4, A. Stubbings, 
Blue and Yellow Macaw. 
This class calls for but little comment, the well-known 
Meyer's Parrot now assuming almost patriarchal age was look- 
ing as well as ever, while the Yellow-naped Amazon and the 
Blue and Yellow Macaw assisted the stewards and created much 
amusement by shouting " catalogue " at frequent intervals.
