Pekin Eobins,, Jays, etc. (8) : A class one would 
have expected to fill better, as it probably will another season,

exhibits were good, but only M. Pauvvel's Crowned Jays 
were rare and these were described and figured in our last

as our indigenous species, but the red is not so bright (carrot- 
red), and the under surface is darker (more grey) with the 
middle of abdomen sooty — it has all the charactistics that make
