ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS—LOISEL. 409 
The Zoological Garden is administered, under the general direction 
of the secretary, by a scientific staff comprising a superintendent, 
Mr. R. J. Pocock; a prosector, Mr. F. E. Beddard, F. R. S., specially 
charged with the conduct of the laboratory of comparative anatomy 
(prosectorium) attached to the garden; a pathologist, Mr. C. G. Selig- 
mann, also attached to the prosectorium. * * * 
The ordinary expenditures of the garden amounted, in 1905, to 
£22,435 15s. 8d., the principal objects being as follows:

The garden is situated in a portion of Regent’s Park, occupying a 
space of 31 acres, for which the society pays an annual rental to the 
Crown. It is open to the public every week day from 9 a. m. until 
sunset; on Sundays and holidays only members and persons provided 
with special tickets are admitted. 
It is divided by a canal (Regent’s Canal) and a public road (Outer 
Circle) into three parts—the north garden, the middle garden, and 
the south garden, connected with each other by two bridges and a 
tunnel. On December 31, 1905, there were, in these three gardens, 
2,913 vertebrate animals:

Invertebrates, variable number. 
Of these 860 were acquired by gift, 286 by purchase, 286 were born, 
1,097 were received on deposit, and 202 obtained by exchange. 
During 1905, 514 animals died in the garden, 296 being mammals 
and 218 birds. 
The animals are distributed in a most irregular manner, as is 
usual in all gardens of this character. This is doubtless due to the 
necessities of the case. In the following enumeration I shall, how- 
ever, follow the usual zoological classification: 
Mammals—The garden contains a fine collection of monkeys 
and lemurs arranged so as to present examples of all the great natural 
groups. They are placed in three structures, each designed for a 
different purpose. * * *
