Editorial. 
This is the holiday month, and our notes and news will be 
but brief, however there are some avicultural episodes worth re- 
cording, if only a list be given. 
Nesting Notes. 
Queen Alexandra Parrakeet {Spathopterus alexand- 
rce). Mr. H. D. Astley has two mox-e young of this species from 
a different pair to those which scored the initial success. 
Shamah [Gittocincla macroiira). It is some years, we 
believe, since young of this species were reared in captivity, and 
Mr. Astley is to be congratulated on having three young birds on 
the wing in his aviaries. A detailed account of this success from 
Mr. Astley's pen would be of general interest. 
Blue Robin (Sialia sialis). Mr. Astley is also the fortu- 
nate possessor of this once common but now alas ! almost unob- 
tainable species, and their number has been increased by the suc- 
cessful rearing of one young bird. 
Orange-headed Ground Thrush iOeocicla citrinus). 
Another interesting event in Mr. Astley's aviaries is the nesting of 
this species-— a natural nest was built in a small fir tree and a 
brood successfully reared. Mr. Astley bi-ed this species last year 
for the first time in Great Britain. 
Crested Lark {Gahrita cristata). Mr. W. E. Tesche- 
maker has bred this species, and three young birds have been fully 
reared. Mr. Teschemaker has met with a fair amount of success, 
for he has also bred five PARADISE Whydahs {Stccjanura para- 
disea), two RoCK Pipits (Anthus obscums), a brood of Whin- 
CHATS {Pratincola riihi4ra), and two BLACK Redstarts (Jiuti- 
cilla titys). We congratulate our member on his success, and we 
hope he will contribute some details of the above episodes.
