infertile. One young one died two days later, but the remaining one

was fully reared, leaving the nest on 8th July a very strong and healthy

excellent picture of these very handsome birds appeared in the

Magazine of February, 1935. I believe this is the first time this bird

has been successfully reared in captivity.
