on the right ; persons provided with an order paid one shilling 

 each at the lodge on the left, receiving in return a check whicK 

 was given up at the central lodge a little farther on. There 

 were three bears in the pit (3) at the end of the Terrace (2); 

 and where the " bear bar " now stands was a rustic seat, in 

 which a person was permitted to attend during the hours of 

 exhibition " for the sale of cakes, fruits, nuts, and other articles, 

 which the visitors may be disposed to give to the different 

 animals." Below the Terrace on the left was the waterfowls' 

 lawn (6) with a pond and fountain. In this enclosure were 

 kept a shag, black-billed whistling ducks,^ mallard (taken in 

 the Society's decoy on the Lake in the Park), pintail, wigeon, 

 pochard, and greater and lesser black-backed, herring, and 

 common gulls. The crowned cranes and other wading birds 

 from the large aviaries (,S3), approximately on the site of the 

 Eastern Aviary, were turned into this enclosure during the day. 

 In the llama house (5), now the camel house, were two 

 llamas, and behind, there stood, as it stands to-day, an open-air 

 aviary (7), then used for the blue-and-yellow and red-and-blue 

 macaws, and greater and lesser sulphur-crested cockatoos. 

 North of the llama house was a court yard (8) with iron cages, 

 in which were a hybrid between a jackal and a dog, a pair of 

 cinnamon bears, European and American bears, Cuban mastiffs, 

 dingos, and a sable. Under the Terrace were some chambers, 

 in which an American tapir and an ostrich were kept. Adjoin- 

 ing, but nearer the Park boundary, was a yard (9) with three 

 divisions; in one was a reindeer, and in the others some great 

 kangaroos. In front of this were enclosures (10) accommodating 

 a couple of sambur, one of which came from Windsor, and had 

 been hunted by the Royal buckhounds, an American fallow- 

 deer, and a nylghaie. Still nearer what is now the South 

 Entrance was a temporary building (12) with three leopards, a 

 jaguar, a lion cub, two striped hyaena cubs, a black buck, a pair 

 of ocelots, an African civet cat, a Tibet bear, three coatimondis, 

 Virginian opossums, guinea-pigs, agoutis, a ratel, a couple of 

 genets, common, fasciculated and Canada porcupines, some

 fowl" (ed. 1888, p. 92) that the species had been "an inhabitant of the Zoological 

 Gardens since 1831."
