Bird Market Notes and News. 
These notes will be as comprehensive as possible, but the Editor is not often able to 
make the round of the London Market, and their completeness must in a measure depend on 
the assistance members give him, in the way of supplying notes and accounts of rare and other 
arrivals which reach them. 
Grassfinches in good variety are still being olTered hy the 
principal dealers (see adverts.) 
De Von and Co. recently received an interesting con- 
sig'nment of Indian Birds, consisting of Shamas, Mynahs, Orange- 
beaded Ground Thrushes, Barbets, Silver-eared Mesias, Sunbirds, 
and Indian White-eyes (Z. palpebrosa), the latter a most interest- 
ing' species and worth a place in every collection of foreig'n oirds. 
Most interesting species are also neing offered by Mr. A. E. Jamrach, 
as follows: Victoria Ci'owned Pigjeons (C. leuconota) ; Impeyan Pheas- 
ants; Snow Finches; Nutcrackers; Jendaya, Half-moon, All Green 
Aztec and Blue-crowned Conures; Rosella, Grass, and Banded Parra^ 
keets. White, White-crested, and Triton Cockatoos; liheas; Black 
Swans, etc. 
A goodly array of " The Freely Imported Species " are 
obtainable at the usual sources of supply. 
The present is a good time for filling in any gaps among 
foreign species, so that they may settle down for breeding this 
season.
