J'isits to Members' Aviaries. 
weakly looking one among them, and except the Yellows, all 
contained Blue-blood. 
Adjoining was a cage containing a pure White Canary 
id) paired to a white-bred Cinnamon hen — a beautiful pair. 
In another flight were a number of various coloured 
Budgerigars, including a lovely pair of dark Ulives, also fine 
pairs of Cream-Yellows, Apple-Cjreen Yellows, and light 
Ulives — an interesting lot of distinct colour forms. 
Aext were an exquisite pair of Ued-collared Lorikeets 
{TrichoglossHS riibritorqites), a tame pair of birds, showing 
signs of a desire to go to nest, judging by their fondness for the 
interior of their log-nest. Tame and in perfect feather. 
Xe.\t was a large cage containing a Cuban Trogon 
{I'riuiioicliis tcniuurns). This bird had not moulted and was 
not as yet in full adult colouration, and was the only bird in 
the collection to which " loose and rough feather " applied. 
The ne.xt flight contained 3 \"aried Lorikeets (Ptilosclcra 
versicolor), a species which I hardly expected to see in the flesh 
again, and, which I envied Mrs. Burgess the possession of more 
than any other birds in the collection, and there were many 
rarities. 
Next was a large cage, in front of the window, containing 
a Gold and (ireen Tanager, 3 perfect 6 Yellow-wing Sugarbirds 
(Coereba cyanea) and an immature Blue Sugarbird (Uaciiis 
cayana). A cageful of dainty, fairy-like form and beauty. 
Xext was a cage containing a single, i)erfect specimen of 
the Yernal Ilanging-Parrakeet (Loriculits -c'enialis). 
Then came a flight containing pairs each of Cockateels 
(Calopsittacus novae-hollandiae). All Green Parrakeets (Bro- 
togerys tirica). White-winged Parrakeets {B. virescens). and 
Tui Parrakeets (B. tui). All in fine feather and health. 
Next was a cage contaiinng a White-fronted Amazon 
(( lirysofis albifroiis). 
In the adjoining cage, and also in another a little distance 
away, were fine specimens of the rare Hawk-headed Parrot
