322 Dr. E. Hopkinson — More Additions to Breeding Becords


by the parents three weeks after leaving the nest, but from

a second nest one flew in September, and I think was reared.

Medal awarded. See A.M., 175, 198.


p. 54. Add: 239. iv, Crowned Starling ( Galeopsar salvadorii).


Bred by Ezra, a first, in 1931. Two young reared. When

the eggs were hatched the cock was shut up and the hen

given her liberty till the young were reared. There had been

many previous failures till this was tried. For full account

see A.M., 1931, 305, 330.


p. 54. Add : 240. i, Royal Starling ( Cosmopsarus regius (Rchw.)).


In A.M., 1930, 305, Lady Wavertree records the breeding

of two young Royals at Bournemouth, a first ; further

notes p. 327 ; medal awarded, 1931, 81.


p. 219. Add: 240. Superb Spreo. 240. i, Royal Starling.


a, Royal Starling x Superb Spreo. Whitley reared

a young one of this cross in 1930. I saw it in September :

it took more after the father than the mother but had a

shorter tail and was obviously not in full colour yet. Still

alive May, 1932.


p. 54. 240, Superb Spreo. Add to record : Ezra reared five in 1931,

see A.M., 1931, 330. Whitley tells me that in 1929 three

were reared with him.


p. 54. Add: 240. ii, Malay Calornis ( Lamprocorax panayensis

strigatus). Bred by Isenberg in California in 1930, two

young being reared. See Aviculture, November, 1930,

teste A.M., 1931, 23.


Crows.


p. 55. Add : 241, i, Cornish Chough ( P . pyrrhocorax (L.)). Neunzig

includes this (but not the Alpine C.) among the birds which

have been bred in captivity, and gives the reference

D. Gef. Welt., 1909, 241. His exact words are £C Haben in

der Gefangenschaft mehrfach gebrutet. . . . Ein 18 Jahre

altes Alpenkrahenpaar (= the Cornish Chough, E. H.)

brutet alljahrlich auf 6-7 Eiern mit Erfolg ”. This, I take

it, must mean successful rearing ( Nzig. Einh., 387).
