Greenfinch x Greenfinch-Himalayan Siskin hybrid. This 
is of much interest, as proving the original hybrid (Green- 
finch X Himalayan Siskin) to be fertile, at any rate when paired 
back to one of the parent species. 
.Small Weaver (IJypluiiUoynius lutcola?) One of the 
brood referred to in our List issue lived to make its exit from the 
nest, but quickly succumbed to the prevailing cold wet weather. 
They have nested again and are busy feeding another brood. 
Another young weaver is on the wing, what species not 
known at present, think it is a Crimson-crowned, as they have 
been seen pairing. 
Lesser Bird of Paradise {Paradisca minor). A speci- 
men of this species has been acquired by our member Mrs. 
Burgess. She finds it easy to keep, and of great beauty and 
interest.
