tur.atply, I U^ixw (Iiat this l)ir(l is of the samo sex as the one 

 already there. While writing of the Zoo, the Pelican enclosure 

 is always of interest, and the plate of one of these hucre 

 and atractive birds preening its plumage, taken by my brother 

 two years ago, may prove of some little interest. 



For the same reason a photo of part of the Waders' 

 Aviary is given, with a group of Avoects in the distance. 

 This aA'iai'V always attracts iiiucli adinii'atioii, and its varied 

 occupants arc a source of gicat iiitci'cst (it many visitors. 1 

 may remark, oi pa.syaHl. that three years ago a young Avocet 

 and two Redshanks were successfully reared in this aviary.

 does not intend to l)c content with the " Freely Imported 

 Species," for he already has many uncommon and beautiful 

 species occupying the respective aviaries. 



The aviaries, three in number, have been named The 

 Terrace, Rockery, and Road Aviaries, according to the position 

 whicli they occupy. 



The Terrace Aviary, while containing a certain iuunbor 

 of regular occupants, is looked upon as the reception quarters 

 for new arrivals to be rested and acclimatized in, before being 

 turned intc- permanent quarters in the Rockery or Roa!d 

 Aviaries. The shelter of this aviary reminds one of a gigantic
