than one occasion —but, as I write, I cannot call to mind any 
instance of it having been bred in captivity. 
Too well known for further conniicnt. 
Tlie above six species were confined together in the same 
enclosure. 
Sknicgal I'arkot i^Pocucephahts scncgalus). A pair of this 
fine and interesting species, with other psHtaci, occupied one of 
the enclosures. One is surprised that tliis species has not bred 
in captivity before this, for 1 knew of one true ^ pair which 
occupied an outdoor aviary in the Isle of Wight for five years, 
yet, strange to say, they never made any attempt to go to nest, 
and the same experience has been the lot of other avicultur- 
ists who have had true pairs. 
The colouration is mainly brilliant green, with the crown 
of the head brownish-grey-black, and the underparts mostly 
brilliant yellow. There is practically no difference in the 
plumage of the sexes. 
It is a native of Africa. 
Jkndaya Parrakeets (Conurus jcndaya): No less than 
five specimens of this species were in the same enclosure, I think, 
a.': the Senegals, and were of difJerent ages, so that the respective 
plumages were very varied and made a fine spectacle; it will be 
even more so when all have reached the adult stage, for a full 
coloured Jendaya is a gorgeous bird indeed. They have been 
successfully bred both as a species and crossed with other species 
of parrakeets. 
As it is a well known species, having been known to 
aviculture for very many years, a description of its plumage is 
uncalled for — it is mainly flame-colour when fully adult, and 
almost rivals solstitialis for brilliancy. 
It can be kpt out of doors all the year round. 
Bahama Amazon (Chrysotis bahamensis). A single 
specimen of this beautiful Amazon occupied one of the cages. 
There are three species of this type of Amazon which closely 
resemble each other, so it will probably be a convenieice if I give 
a description of the three species showing the main differentia- 
tion between them ; and as I have not all three available as I 
write, I quote same from the B.M.C., vol. XX., pp. 315-8.
