Among these additions the Council cannot refrain from 

 adverting particularly to the Rhinoceros, which, though still 

 a young animal, is scarcely inferior in its dimensions to the 

 largest specimen that has yet been recorded as having ex-

 winter in the apartment which it has hitherto occupied. 

 Plans have been arranged for a building, in connexion with 

 the Elephant's Paddock and Pond, suitable for the reception 

 both of the Rhinoceros and of the male Elephant. On these 

 plans tenders will immediately be had, and the building will 

 be completed before the expiration of the summer. In the 

 course of the summer it is also intended to secure better ac- 

 commodation for the larger Carnivora, by the erection of a 

 portion of a series of dens of ample size.
