- PoPULUS MONTICOLA, a new species of Poplar froin’ the mount- 
ains of Lower California, forms fig. 56 (vol. iv, 329) of Garden te 
Forest. 
Fig. 59 of Garden and Forest is a portrait of Pznmus cembr 16 
in the form in which it occurs on the mountains of the Cape Regic n 
of Lower California. 
The careful study of mammals and other vertebrates when kept 
in captivity has always been interesting and instructive, as well as 
productive of important facts, when the investigations were intelli- 
gently conducted. The Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, has al- 
ready the nucleus of a fine zodlogical garden, and a ‘“‘buffalo’”’ farm 
has been established near Monterey; both of these places, howeve 
are mainly devoted to the larger ungulates, which few, as indivi 
uals, can undertake to care for. Probably Judge Caton has pro’ 
more from the study of captive deer than any one else; at least 
work upon the American deer is without a rival. 
Weare pleased to note the establishment of a zodlogical exper 
Ss iment station by Messrs. Chas. A. Keeler and Walter E. Bryant 
__ be located at Berkeley, for the purpose of ascertaining new 
_ the life histories of animals, especially mammals, and for the 
of the phylogenetic. relationship of certain varieties. The 
: perce with which to Ngee on this work are e much desired.
