Bird Expedition in New Hebrides
in their quest for the elusive royal parrot finch, to be found only on Tangoa Island in the New Hebrides, two naturalists, Messrs. C. B.
Alexander and Thomas Goodwin, returned to Sydney on April 5 by the Pierre Loti.
A severe cyclone prevented them from reaching Tangoa and cut off the com munication with another man who had been sent in advance. Mr. Goodwin ex plained that the royal parrot finches were valuable in England.
Aboard the Pierre Loti , Mr. Goodwin had 223 cardinals and kagaus. He is taking them to England for the Paignton and Surrey zoological gardens.
