incubating two eggs, and I shall try to rear the young. The 
nest is placed in a thinly foliaged holly bush, quite near the 
walk, so observation without disturbance has been very easy 
and pleasing. As yet I have failed to get a good photo of 
the nest. 
Capt. J. S. Reeve (Leadenham, Lincoln) reports that 
Triangular-spotted Pigeons (Columba maculosa), and Red- 
rump Parrakeets (Psephotos haematonotus) have successfully 
reared young, and that Cirl Buntings and Bearded Tits have 
made good, but unsuccessful, attempts to rear their kind. In 
most instances they are nesting again.

Hooded Parrakeet c? • Tavistock. The Marquis of. — This bird died of 
pneumonia. It had apparently never been able to fly, and the cold 
killed it. 
(iRr.Y Parrot 9 : C. Dell. — This bird had enteritis and bronchitis. It is 
difficult to say which caused its death. 
l^iUE Budgerigar 9 : Theo. Foster. — The cause of death was egg-binding. 
Piui; Budgerigar 9 ^ E. E. Pyeman. — The bird was decomposed. 
liuDGERiGAR c? • Mrs. Sebag-Montifiore. — The bird had a filsoma of the 
liver. This is an overgrowth of the fibrous connective tissue between 
ihe liver cells, which extends and gradually strangles the liver cells. It 
is curious that with only a small portion of the liver functioning the bird 
was otherwise in perfect condition. 
( ^f'l.n r.REASTED Waxbill S ■ E. Boosey. — This bird died of enteritis with 
terminal congestion of the lungs.
