possible to make it accessible to the millions of 

 people who visit the Zoological Park. It is pos- 

 sible only to show it to the specially interested 

 few who can properly be permitted to jienetrate 

 to the farthest corners of an office building. But 

 the present liomc of the collection is only tem- 

 porary. Already the Zoological Society has 

 been unofficially invited to submit an estimate 

 for a special building, to stand between the 

 Primate House and the Administration Build- 

 ing. The public is anxious to see the collec- 

 tion, and the Society desires that every portion 

 of it shall be made accessible to the millions 

 who are interested in wild-animal life. We 

 hope that a suitable building will be provided 

 by the City, in the future. W. T. H.
