Club Meeting at the Zoo: At this gathering on July 
26th, we were favoured with fine weather, and thougli not so 
large a company as expected, the gathering was a great 
Buocess. Some few of the members met at 11 a.m., and 
while " doing " the various avaries, and taking lunch, 
many interesting experiences were exchanged, and birdy epi- 
sodes recounted. At 2-30, more members were met at the 
Small Birds' House, and a very interesting hour was spent in 
" doing " the Western Aviary thoroughly and admiring ats 
varied, beautiful and interesting occupants, and rare specimens of 
the ■' wild creatures of the air " from almost all climes. Then 
an adjournment was made to the back of the Fellows' Pavil- 
lion, which was reserved for our party, and a pleasant social 
time was spent over afternoon tea, though our party was reduced 
by several having to leave early to catch holiday trains. 
Afterwards various aviaries were visited in company, their 
occupants admired, the intervals being filled in with interesting 
avian " gossip." Over 20 apologies for non attendance were 
received from members either away or on the eve of leaving 
for their summer holidays — for the same reason several who 
had notified their intention of being present, were absentees. 
The following ladies and gentlemen were present: Hon. Mrs. 
G. Bourke, Mr. E. A. H. Hartley, Mrs. Lee, Miss M. E. 
Baker, Miss Eccles, Miss Knobel, Mr. and Mrs. de Barros, 
Rev. J. Paterson, Messrs. R. J. Watts, Sydney Williams, 
F.Z.S., A. Ezra, D. Ezra, R. Hoffmann, and W. T. Page,
