An interesting series, in pei'fect condition, most of them 
(^uiti! tame, and the Mynaii a quaint and interesting specimen 
articulating several words very clearly. 
The Gakden Aviaries, Nos. 2, 3, and 4, have perhaps 
one fault, viz., lack of head room, nevertheless they are well ar- 
ranged, having plenty of natural cover, "with a shelter attached 
to each, the exposed corners are boarded up and covered 
over, forming triangular shelters where the birds can rest 
secure from wind and rain during inclement weather and yet 
be in the open. The whole of the aviaries look very ef- 
fective amid the environment of a lovely garden and shrub- 
beries. 
Aviary No. 2: This is the newly a,rranged Tanager 
aviary, wiiere the natural cover has yet to develop; but all 
the birds were looking well, in good feather, and fit in every way. 
In this aviary have been I'eared two Palm Tanagers,,' the; 
first of their kind to be fully reared in Great Britain {see 
pages 212 to 214 of current vol.). Its occupants are as 
follows: — 
1 ]iair Mag'pie Tana;gers (Cissopsis Ici^&riamp.) . 
1 pair I'alin Tanagers (Tumnjra p. mckmo}ftera) and their two off- 
spring. 
1 pair Scarlet Tanagers (RJuimpJiococltts brasUhis). 
2 Blue Tana^rs {Tanagra cceJe.^tis) .
