young; CiUthroars, Cutthroat x Java Sparrow, Californian 
Qu<ail, and Grey-Avinged Ouzels are incubating, and a pair 
of Yellow- winy Sngarbirds, which have been out of doors 
for the past three weeks, are looking extremely well, in spite 
of cold nights and frost; the cock has been observed with a 
piece of fine grass in his bill, intimating that an attempt at 
any rate is likely to l>e made at setting up housekeeping. 
In Mr. Suggitt's aviaries. Grey -winged Ouzels, White - 
crowned Pigeons, Peaceful Doves, Magpie Mannikins, Long- 
tailed Grassfinclies, Zebra Finches, etc., are incubating. 
Mr. Herbert Bright, in his Liverpool aviaries, has 
Budgerigars, Cockateels, Diamond Doves, Diamond Finches, 
Green Cardinals, Red-crested Cardinals, Ma.sked Doves, Silver-

headed Sibias, and thi-ee jiairs of Grey-winged Ouzels incubat- 
ing — also many rare Pheasant chicks hatched. 
Mr. A. Sutclitfe has in his Grimsby aviaries, Cali- 
fornian Quail, Golden Pheasants, Double -banded and several 
other species of Australian Finches engaged in the duties of 
incubation, as well as several species oT Pigeons. 
We hope more memlx>rs will send in brief notes of the 
doings and attempts in their aviaries— the utility and interest 
of our Journal will be much marred if only rare and uncommon 
species are to be noted. Such brief notes as those given above, 
will not mar any article on the " Season's Results," which may 
be written later. We solicit post ciirds giving .such details. 
MiXKn Series: Considerable interest attaches as to what 
may be kept together, so we propose quoting from time to 
time from such letters on this topic, as may come to hand- 
readers must particularly note size of cage or aviary and any 
other qualifying details given, also, whatever may have been 
done by others in this respect, all mixed series should be 
kept under closest observation, until the demeanour of the 
respective species is ascertained, and for some time after 
introducing fresh individuals. 
Air. W. Smith, of Redruth, Cornwall, has in his out-door 
aviary (30 x 20ft., with an outer flight 20 x 12ft.), about 
forty largo birds, such as Lenion -crested, Leadbeater's, and
