country, and has brought with him, amongst other interesting 
objects of natural history, several eggs of this Cassowary in a 
more perfect state than the examples hitherto received. The 
Zoological Society have also further increased their collection of 
Struthiones, by obtaining a young pair of Ostriches from the 
Cape of Good Hope. When these have a little further pro¬ 
gressed towards maturity, we shall have a fine opportunity of 
comparing the Northern and Southern birds together. The 
Society have also recently received examples of several other in¬ 
teresting birds—the White-winged Trumpeter (Psophia leu - 
coptera), the Cardinal Eclectus (Eclectus cardinalis), the Austra¬ 
lian Thick-knee ((Edicnemus australis), and two fine pairs of the 
European Waxwing (Ampelis garrula).
