The feature of this class was Monsieur Pauvvels' 
Greater Bird of Paradise, which was a centre of attraction 
the whole period of the show. It was in grand con- 
dition, and in full nuptial plumage, which it did ample justice 
to in its large and roomy cage, being very steady, and but little 
disturbed by the constant attention it received from the public. 
The same exhibitor's Cuban Woodpecker also attracted much 
attention, and was a beautiful, unique, and interesting bird. 
Mr. Maxwell exhibited a Mexican Trogon, which was more 
lively than the one he exhibited a year or so ago ; his unique 
and fine Violet Manucode was very hardly treated. The Crested 
Wood Partridge {Rollulus roulroul) very beautiful, with glossy 
blue -black plumage, rejecting green and purple tints on the 
back and upper tail-coverts, bill blackish, base of lower man- 
dible red, which is also the colour of the legs and feet, eyelids 
and bare skin at the back of eye vivid scarlet, the crest is 
very large and of a maroon -chestnut hue. Other rare exhibits 
were a Spot-billed Toucanette and Giant Barbet, also a beauti- 
ful specimen of the Mexican Green Jay, said to be cage- 
moultea, yet retaining all its natural hues. A pair of very 
steady Californian Quails were exhibited by the Countess von 
Hahn, which for Quails were remarkably tame. The Count 
informed me these birds fed from the hand, followed the maids 
about and roosted on a high shelf in the servants' quarters. 
It should be noted that though unique on the show bench, Para- 
dise Birds and Manucodes are well known to visitors at the 
Zoo.
