Mr. Shore Baily's Aviaries: 
A pair of Bay-fronted Cowbirds have nested and reared 
young; this is, we think, the first time this species have 
reared young — full details will appear in a near issue. 
Not a good season; the above, one young Orchard Finch 
and a few doves comprise the successes to date (July 15) 
Members are urged to send in notes of the doings in their 
aviaries. 
Breeding (w the Spotted Francolin : Quite an inter- 
esting" episode has occurred at the London Zoo. We saw, on 
the 17th inst., in the Western aviary, several chicks and their 
parents, all doing well, of this rare species. If these live to be 
independent of their parents, as undoubtedly they will, it will 
be a first record for this country, we think.
