Anevasion of this rule, in any form whatever, will not only disqualify the breederfrom any claim to a Medal in that particular instance, but will seriously prejudiceany other claims he or she may subsequently advance for the breeding of the sameor any other species. In every case the decision of the Committee shall be final. The Medal will be forwarded to each Member as soon after it shall have beenawarded as possible.

21 THE AVICULTURAL HAGAZINE, BEING THE JOURNAL OFTHE AVICULTURAL SOCIETY. Third Series.—Yoh YIIL—No. i.—All rights reserved. NOVEMBER, 1916. JAYS, By Hubert D. Astley. The coloured plate illustrates a lovely member of an exceed-ingly attractive and handsome genus, but, like all the Jays, not tobe trusted with smaller birds in an aviary. If our English Jayarrived for the first time as a rare foreigner from some part of SouthAmerica, aviculturists would exclaim at its beauty. The family of the Jays is divided up into various genera.The Blue Jay (North America and Canada) is Cyanocitta, as is theCrowned Jay (Mexico) and the Long-crested or Diademed Jay(Mexico and Western United States). The Pileated, the Blue-bearded, the Black-headed, and theAzure Jays are classed under Cyanocorax, whilst we have the subjectof our coloured illustration, along with the Peruvian, Beecheys,Yucatan, and Hartlaubs under the generic name of Xanthura. TheHimalayan Jay, the Lanceolated, etc., are styled Gaviculturalmagaz08avic
