back with me a fairnumber of waxbills, mannikins, weavers, whydahs, and other Ploceine finches,also some buntings, larks, waxwings and troupials. You will be pleased to hear that the Egrets and Pond Herons aredoing well ; the former fly beautifully, but, I am afraid they will have to bepinioned and wander at large out of doors, as, though they are in the fardivision of the aviary, the smell of fish is most ol)jectionable, and spols thepleasure of going down there.London: December 30, 1921.

BIRD NOTES: — THE —JOURNAL OF THE FOREIGN BIRD CLUB. My Aviaries and Birds, By Capt. J. S. Reeve, F.Z.S.. M.B.O.U. Your Editorial admonition in January issue of B.N ,combined with a free evening, has compelled me to attempt anarticle. My aviaries, except for an alteration to which I will referlater, are as they were when last described in this Journal;therefore I am not giving any details of these. In pre-war days I went in principally for foreign finches,weavers and waxbills. I was obliged to get rid of the greaterpart of these while away soldiering, and the only survivor wasa cock Red-headed Weaver (Quclca erythrops), which camefrom Hamlyn in 1906. and survived his return here by over ayear, dying in November 1920, being then fully fifteen years old;he was out of doors all the year round practically the wholeperiod. Since the war I have gone in for a few Softbills, Parra-keets, and the rarer British species. uf those not still in myaviaries I may mention a pair of Cirl Buntings
