Another class of gorgeously ])lumaged Neotropical birds, 
and worth a long journey to see. Banana Quits, which were 
unlcnown on the show bench last season, are now becoming 
almost common, no less than four being exhibited, three of 
whicli were flaveola and one luteola, the latter being quite 
new to British aviculture, a coloured plate and description of 
the former species appeared in the June issue of "B.N." 
current vol. Luteola only differs in being slightly larger 
and having less white on the wings and outer tail-feathers. 
Among the more notable entries mention must be made of 
Mr. Maxwell's Purple Sun Bird, which, though being out of 
colour, i.e., lacking the gorgeous nuptial dress, and having 
a few pen feathers showing on the head, was vei-y hardly 
treated, the Purple Sugar-bird was in like case, this season 
being its first appearance on the show bench, a rich variegation 
of shining satiny purple and black. Mr. Townsend's now 
almost patriarchal. Yellow-winged Sugar-bird, was abso- 
lutely without a flaw, and its plumage appears to increase in 
depth and richness of hue with each succeeding moult. An- 
other rare exhibit by the same owner was a hen .Terdon's 
Green Bulbul (Chloropsis jerdoni), which, however, was still 
showing signs of the moult. The body colouration is a Iieauti- 
ful grass-green, with throat of soft sky-blue. A grand speci- 
men of the well-known Gold-fronted Green Bulbul (C. aiiri- 
frnns) completes my notice of a notable class.
