94 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



Our herds of bison and elk are in the best condition they ever 

 were ; and this is due solely to the fact that for the past i8 months 

 they have been entirely prohibited from grazing on the grass 

 of their large ranges. It is now settled beyond doubt that to all 

 our American hoofed animals the old grasses growing in the 

 ranges are of as deadly effect as if they were really poisonous. 



At last the whole of the Llama House is occupied by the col- 

 lection of cameloids presented by Mr. Robert S. Brewster, and 

 that collection is now at its best. Two llamas and a vicunia were 

 born in 1905, and have developed well. 



Our fine three-year-old Moose is quartered in the corral adjoin- 

 ing the Llama House on the north. 



An installation for wild horses, asses, and zebras is greatly 

 needed, and no doubt will be provided at an early date. Another 

 is needed for the tropical buft'aloes, bison, and wild cattle which 

 should be added to our collection ; and this, also, will in all prob- 

 ability be provided in 1907.
