Swainson's Lorikket X Chattering Lory Hybrid: 
Two yoLiiiji; birds have now left the nest in Mi\s. Hartley's 
aviary. On August the IGth the writer saw these birds in 
the log, both well developed birds. We are informed that 
they showed their anxiety for the safety of their progeny, 
by promptly killing (the day the young left the nest), a Ring- 
neeked Parrakeet, which had long been an occupant of their 
enclosure. 
BuEEDiNa OF Magpie Tanagbrs at the London Zoo: 
Two young Cissopsis lever iana left an open cup -shaped nest, 
built in a bush, about 6 feet above the ground, when fifteen 
days old; plumage similar to adults but duller. One young 
bird disappeared three days after leaving the nest, the other 
was fending for itself when 24 days old, and is still living. 
Incul)ation lasted 16 days. 
Other results in the Zoo Summer Aviaries are: Two 
young Peale's Parrot Finches (Eri/thrura pcalciy independent 
of their parents, and four young Crimson Finches just out of 
the nest (August 26th),. in addition to those already an- 
nounced. 
Errata. August issue was produced under excep- 
tionally difficult conditions, in consequence of holiday, etc., 
and that there is some little revision to be made: —

Species Which Have Reared Young in Great 
Britain: This list will be continued hi October issue. Mr. 
Page would be greatly obliged, if members would send him 
particulars of any species of Fhasianida which liave been bred 
in this country — those reared under foster-parents are not 
taken into account, as only those hatched and reared by the 
pair of birds producing the eggs are eligible for the list. 
Hybrid Lorikeet: In M. Pauvvels' aviaries at Ever- 
berg, Belgium, an hybrid T richoglonsas rahritorques x T. 
nigrogularis, has been successfully reared and has been ([uite 
independent of its parents for many weeks.
