Summer Aviaries at the Zoo: These have more than 
justified their erection, though it has been left to private 
avieulturists to lead the way. 
The Scarlet Tanagers {R. hrasilius), which we men- 
tioned last month, left the nest, but died before being able to 
fend for themselves. 
The Grey- winged Ouzels: (M. hoidhoul), have fully 
reared three young birds from two nests, and are again incu- 
bating. It is worthy of note, that fully a score of this species 
have been reared this season by private avieulturists. 
The White- throated Ground Thrushes {G. cyanon- 
otus), successfully reared the first brood (two), and are again 
engaged in feeding another couple. 
The Magpie Tanagers (Cissopsis leveriana) have a 
nest in a privet bush, between 6 and 7 feet from the ground, 
three eggs were laid, two young birds ;being duly hatched 
out and on July 29th, being then alx»ut ten days old, they 
were observed looking over the top of the nest. The nest is 
an open one and constructed of various g-rasses. Not pre- 
viously bred in Great Britain. 
The Pbale's Parrot Finches {E. pmleiy, have nested, 
and three young birds are now on the wing. Not p^evijously^ 
bred in Great Britain.

X Pope Cardinals fully reared. i
