readiness to make promptly any change in " environment " which 

 the condition of any animal may seem to demand. A hard-and- 

 fast rule to maintain this collection fixedly in any one place, either 

 outdoors or indoors, would result in numerous fatalities. The indi- 

 vidual whims of the animals are met with unlimited patience and 

 effort on the part of all who are concerned in their care. Some 

 of these animals can live throughout the winter on Mountain 

 Sheep Hill, but others require housing indoors during the period 

 of cold weather. The only fixed rule is to leave each animal out 

 until it is plainly evident that it needs to be taken indoors. For 

 example, in December one Markhor suffered so constantly from 

 the cold it required to be taken in for the winter, but the other 

 is living out in perfect comfort. Some of the Punjab Mountain 

 sheep can live out ; others cannot. Our Mountain Goats did not 

 do well on Mountain Sheep Hill, so we have quartered them in the 

 old Prong-Horned Antelope corral, near the Southwest Entrance. 

 Attention is specially called to the lusty little flock of White 

 Mountain Goats. We believe that our present number (five) is 

 the largest ever assembled anywhere for exhibition.
