Hen Black Tanager. (Mrs. Scott, Birdhurst, Woodcote Road,
Wallington, Surrey). The liver and kidneys were of a yellowish
colour, and had undergone fatty degeneration. The brain was con-
gested. Evidently death was due to the fit, with which the bird
was seized. The diseased state of the liver and kidneys would,
no doubt, set up the convulsions, which are a common ending of
many bird maladies.

Cock Blue Budgerigar. (Mr. S. Beaty, Strathnarn, Elm
Grove, Alderley Edge, Cheshire). This bird was during life aflfected
with diarrhoea, which was in this case, symptomatic of catarrhal
inflammation of the bowel, probably induced by a chill.

Cock Blue Tanager. (Mrs. E. Travis, Pedmore Grange,
Stourbridge). This bird's intestine was immensely distended by fœces,
which gave the abdomen an enlarged appearance. There was also
peritonitis, which had glued the coils of the intestine together. The
liver had yellowish patches of fatty degeneration.

BIRD NOTES:

The Aviaries and Birds at Hoddam Castle.
By Wesley T. Page, F.Z.S., Etc.
Contmued from page 182.

The description already given of these numerous
aviaries falls very far short of the reality, and the same must
in a greater degree, apply to the following notes on the unique
and rare series of birds which occupy them. Space will not
permit me to enlarge upon them as I fain would do, but
for the benefit of new members, I am figuring the Greater and
Lesser Apodas and King Bird of Paradise—these have already
appeared in Bird Notes, and are from drawings by Mr. H.
Goodchild, from living birds. Most of the B. of P. described
in these notes were collected and brought to this country by
our esteemed member Mr. W. Goodfellow.
NEW GUINEA RIFLE BIRD (Ptilorhis intercedens).
This exquisite species is most active and I had an abundant op-
portunity of watching its deportment, though unfortunately I did
not witness the courting display
