Cardinal; 2 Mrs. K. L. Miller, Raiiiliow Bunting; 4 J. M. Wla'sh,

vels, Black and Yellow Grosbeak; h.c. Rev. J. Paterson, Git'een, 
Singing Pinches; B. C. Brear.s, Lavender Pinch (this should Ii;ave 
been wrong classed, it.s proper place being class 181); H. T. 
Gibbs, Pintail Nonpareil, and W. Andrews, Green Singing Finch. 
Named Tanagees (5): A disappointing entry as to 
numbers, and nothing calling for special comment, all being 
well known species. Mr. Roger's Blue Tanager (Tobago sub- 
species)'!, a beautiful, tightly feathered, and well coloured speci- 
men. The other exhibits had evidently been colour-fed. 
1 W. T. Rogers, Blue Tanager; 2 R. J. Watts, 3 C. T. 
Maxwell; 4 J. M. Walsh, Superb Tanaigers. 
All Othek Tanagers (10): A grand series of gorgeous 
and beautiful birds, all running each other very close as to 
fitness. The four notable birds in the class being Mr. Towns- 
end's Gold and Green, Mrs. Miller's Emerald-spotted, Mr. 
Walsh's Black -throated, and Lady Pilkington's Blue and Black 
(vide coloured plate hi this issue). All the entries were more 
or less notable, but the above in the writer's opinion were 
pre-eminent; but all were a sight to feast the eyes upon.

Bcurke, Necklace Tanager; Miss V. Bromwich, Archbishop Tana.ger; 
c. C. T. Maxwell, Festive Tanager. 
A.S. SuGARBiEDS, SuNBiEDS, Etc. (15): This class 
simply beggars description. It is simply hopeless to give even a 
sketchy description of Mr. Ezra's Amethyst -rumped Sunbird, 
truly a creature of the sun, its metallic, and bejewelled livery 
of many hues, flashing out a radiance of ever varying hue. 
The Hon. Mrs. Bourke's Purple Sugarbird in its beautiful 
setting of Yellow Orchids and exquisite pluinage: Mr. Town- 
end's rare Dacnis, the Palish-blue Sugarbird — one of the rarest 
birds in the show and a dainty gem in its garb of lustrous 
palish blue and velvety -black, much smaller than the well- 
'known Blue Sugarbird. lOf the others I can make only 
passing mention — Green Bulbuls (Fruitsuckers) were repre- 
sented by three species, viz: Jerdon's (9), Blue-winged (Hard-
