of some of the influential Members of the Society, to alter 

 the dens in the winter Repository appropriated to the Felidae, 

 so as to afford them improved accommodation ; these alter- 

 ations have been completed, and it is hoped that they will 

 prove effectual. 



Among other works which have been completed since the 

 last spring may be mentioned the following : moveable sheds 

 for the protection of the stock on the pasturage land ; the re- 

 moval of the Pheasantries from the North Garden (part of the 

 present site of the Giraffe Paddock) into the north-west part 

 of the South Garden ; an additional porch to the Elephant 

 House ; a copper cover to the exit gate in the North Garden ; 

 the interior of the Elephant House, appropriated to the vi- 

 sitors, has been paved with stone; and also the passage and 

 corridor of the Wapiti House ; some cross fencing of division 

 has been placed on the pasturage land ; and walks and pad- 

 docks in different parts of the Garden have been formed. 



In reference to the Steam-engine and the Well the Council 

 would confine themselves to reporting the present condition of 

 this department, and stating that they have no reason to anti- 

 cipate that it will in future be found less favourable. 



The Steam-engine at present is worked on an average eight 

 hours per day, and the average supply is 180 tons of water 

 daily. This quantity the Council consider ample for all the 

 purposes of the Garden and the Menagerie. 



The Menagerie 



in the course of the past year has been enriched by the ac- 

 quisition of many valuable and interesting animals. 

 The following List contains the
