Exchanges Between Members : As will l)e gathered 
from the various pul)lishe(.l notes, our members have met with a 
fair amount of success. To assist memljers to perpetuate species 
in English aviaries, space will be given under " Bird Market " for 
exchanges between meml:)ers of aviary bred birds, at a charge of 
one penny for each species named in the notice, with a minimum 
charge of three-pence, which barely covers the cost of printing. 
We hope members will avail themselves of this and thus prevent 
inbreeding among their birds.

RE LIST OF SPECIES WHICH HAVE BRED IN GREAT BRITAIN. 
Sir, — I was much interested in j-our List of Species which have 
reared young in Great Britain. 
I note that the (^oramon Grey African Waxbill does not appear to 
have been bred, yet I seem to have some recollection that it has been record- 
ed that one of our members bred this bird in 1903 or 4. However you may 
soon get to know this. 
A pair of Grey Waxbills in my Avairy have already built one nest, 
laid three eggs which they forsook, but quickl3' building again they are now 
brooding a second lot. 
I will send details later. 
ERNEST SPRANKLING. 
June 21st. 1912. [It is very probable this species has been bred, but 
there is no record that we know of, though there are several recorded in- 
stances of its having successfully crossed with the St. Helena Waxbill. We 
venture to hope members will take the interest and trouble to check the list 
and report any omissions at once. Ed.]
