CORRIGENDA ; Owing to a very superficial reading of proofs at the 
moment of going to jiress several annoying errors were passed in the previous 
instalment, as follow : — 
page fi4, line 3, for " binly-odour," read ,'6/rrfy odour. 
page 64, line 8 from bottom, delete comma after diagram 
page 65, line 15, for " Le Vaillent's," read Le Vaillant's.

page 66, line 5, after " together," insert of. 
page 66, line 30, for " Pogiiorliviicliiis," read Pogonorhynchus. 
page 66, line 36. for " Poecephahts," read Poecoeplialit.'i. 
page by. line for " liad-taste,'" read bad taste. 
]iage tig, line Ji. for " Caica." read Caica. 
I purpose iryiiii^ to make these notes of .general practical 
utility by including" notes of their wild life and treatment in 
captivity, though this will lengthen them out into several instal- 
ments; however, they can terminate abruptly at any time by 
members intimating that they have had enough of them. 
Li; V'.mllant's IVxRiiKT {Trucliyf'Iioiius cater) : I think 1 
am correct in stating that the first live s])ecimen of this species 
was exhibited by Mr. (). Millsum, at the L.C.B.A. Show in 1909. 
Mrs. Burgess' specimen was not in fully mature plumage, 
neither had it recovered from the ragged appearance consequent 
upon importation. 
The late Mr. (ioodchild's drawing was made from life, 
and with it illustrating these notes but little description will be 
necessary, as the plumage pattern is clearly indicated. Crest 
and band across the chest black; upper back, wings and tail 
black, scaled and barred with white; the black chest band is 
followed by a band of wdiite, narrow in the centre, but much 
broader at the sides; remainder of the plumage is light sulphur- 
yellow, the feathers of the head and sides of face having dark 
centres and red tips; there are also a few red striations on the 
breast, and the upper tail-coverts are more or less tipped with 
red; beak yellowish horn-colour; legs blackish-gdey ; iris deep 
red. Thus it will be readily seen what a beautiful bird a 
])erfect specimen is.
