■collection, and is also very rare, if not the first live specimen 
imported. 
The Purjjle Coots are very handsome and brilliant water- 
fowl and some of these may be for sale, as also will be some of 
most of the other species, except, perhaps, those tabulated in 
the singular. 
In conclusion 1 must again congratulate Mr. Harper 
on his success — it illustrates once more, as does my own 
experience of importing foreign birds, the urgent need that all 
consignments be accompanied by an attendant, and this means 
that, only very large consignments will pay for such huge 
-expenses. 

In Meinoriam of a Grey Parrot. 
In perpetual memory 
of 
Catty- Anne, 
The beloved companion of B. Theo Stewart, 
who 
Fell asleep July 25th, 1919. 
Thou was't not made for Death, Immortal bird. 
So let her sleep ! And we ? we wait 
For what shall be beyond The Gate, 
Where our own loved shall glad our eyes, 
We know it — We are sure to meet, 
But, when the long, long lost we greet, 
Say. will there be a fresh surprise?
