This class does not call for comment save that wc 
lind in it, a modestly clad little bird, which appears for the 
first time on the British show bench and is new to English 
aviculture, viz., a hen Manakin {Pipra sp ?), the males of which 
are gorgeously apparelled creatures, while the females are soberly 
clad in olive -green and have but little attraction apart from 
the male . 
L.C.B.A. Members. — A.V. Seed-Eating (1): 
1, R. Pauvvcls, Barraband's Parrakeet. 
Not seen for some years, a fine exhibit, very rich and 
pure in colour, grand bird. 
L.C.B.A. Members. — A.V. Insect or Fruit-Eating:

Ornate Lorikeet ; 2, 3, vhc, and c, J. Dewhurst, Coleys, Red-vented Bulbul, 
Metallic Starling and Shama ; vhc, Mrs. Maher, Tri-coloured Tanager ; W. 
A. Shepherd, Larger Hill Minah. 
The White Minahs are the only ones that call for note, 
being unique to the show bench and very steady — they may 
be described as pure wliite birds, with black wings and tails; 
bare skin round the eyes, beak, legs and feet, yellowish. 
This species is more commonly known as the Black-winged 
Grackle, there is a specimen in the Western Aviary at the 
Zoo which simply crawls over you when in its compartment. 
The other exhibits were all well known species in excellent 
condition. I must congratulate Mr. Dewhurst on the longev- 
ity and condition of his Coleys.
