ai'e aware that it is still susceptible of great improvement, 

 they feel confident that the causes now in operation and 

 the means at their disposal will enable them gradually to 

 effect whatever is possible in this direction, especially as 

 they anticipate that the thorough drainage of the Park, when 

 completed by the Commissioners of Her Majesty's Board 

 of Works, will certainly prove a most valuable measure in 

 regard to the influence it w ill exercise upon the salubrity 

 of the Menagerie. 



Sixteen acres and a half of the land occupied by the 

 Society have now undergone this process, and it is under- 

 stood that the remaining ten acres, with the adjoining por- 

 tion of the Park, will be proceeded with in the course of 

 the present year. 



One of the best indications of the generally healthful 

 condition of the Animals is afforded by the following
