122 Correspondence



if only we could have some of these beautiful birds direct before they go

into these Eastern shops !


It seems such a pity not to divert part at least of the stream of bird life

to England, where it would be so much appreciated.

Madam, —I notice in the recent Ornamental Pheasant Society’s Magazine

they put forward an excellent suggestion of suitable note heading for members.

This shows what to my idea is a very handsome little coloured picture of

a Golden Pheasant in the top corner and the paper suitably engraved and

addressed.


Might I respectfully make the suggestion that such an idea would be

welcomed by our own members, not only as an ornamental and suitable type

of notepaper for general “ members’ bird correspondence ”, but it would

also be a means of indicating when writing to strangers that one is a Member

of the Avicultural Society without adding the words after one’s signature,

which in my opinion always looks a little ostentatious.


I do feel that the Ornamental Pheasant Society have hit upon a particu¬

larly attractive idea both from a convenient and financial point of view for

their Society.



A. C. Furner.
