  Birds 
  

   hatched 
  were 
  of 
  the 
  following 
  species 
  : 
  Greater 
  snow 
  goose, 
  Canada 
  

   goose, 
  wood 
  duck,

  heron,

  and

  The 
  young 
  Manchurian 
  tigers 
  were 
  born 
  August 
  19, 
  1921, 
  and 
  at 
  

   the 
  close 
  of 
  the 
  year 
  were 
  fine, 
  thrifty 
  animals, 
  of 
  good 
  growth. 
  The 
  

   hippopotamus, 
  born 
  April 
  27, 
  1922, 
  is 
  the 
  third 
  young 
  successfully 
  

   reared 
  in 
  the 
  gardens 
  from 
  the 
  same 
  pair 
  of 
  animals. 
  The 
  success 
  

   in 
  rearing 
  a 
  young 
  mountain 
  sheep 
  ram 
  last 
  year 
  makes 
  it 
  seem 
  

   probable 
  that 
  the 
  lamb 
  born 
  this 
  spring 
  will 
  also 
  develop 
  into 
  a 
  

   perfect 
  animal.

  19 
  mammals, 
  166 
  

   birds,

  should 
  be 
  made
