Prong-Horned Antelope, Colorado. 2 



As a representative collection, standing for the antelopes of the 

 world, the series enumerated above is one which requires neither 

 apology nor explanation. While it is our intention to add, as soon 

 as practicable, specimens of the Sable Antelope and some of the 

 Hartebeests, the crowded condition of the Antelope House will not 

 permit of this until the completion of the Small-Deer House en- 

 ables us to remove all the gazelles and very small antelopes. As 

 our collection stands to-day, it is believed to be equal to the best 

 of such collections that are to be found elsewhere on exhibition. 



In this series a notable accession has recently arrived, a gift 

 from a member of the Board of Managers, Mr. C. Ledyard 

 Blair. A fine female Eland, about two years old, arrived in De- 

 cember from South Africa. 



Among the African antelopes generally the death-rate has been 

 very low. To the pair of Leucoryx antelopes a fine fawn was 

 born on December 29, 1905, and it has thriven most satisfactorily. 

 Other births in the Antelope House are expected very shortly. 

 The spacious yards attached to the Antelope House are of great 

 benefit to the animals, and in mild weather are in constant use.
