high at the shoulders and weighed 7^ pounds. The kid. which 

 is a male, has thriven continuously, and now is a strong, lusty 

 specimen. The mother, however, gave her life to her offspring. 

 After nursing her young most successfully to weaning time, the 

 heavy drain upon her vitality sapped her strength so completely 

 that she died in October. 



Another rare and noteworthy birth was that of a Beatrix an- 

 telope. The offspring lived and throve for three months, then by 

 accident broke one of its fore legs beyond all possibility of re- 

 pair, and required to be chloroformed.

GENERAL HEALTH OF THE MAM.MALS. 



The general health of the mammals is excellent. The death- 

 rate is very low, and the appearance of the animals speaks for 

 their condition. (3ur most serious troubles with them have l)een
