1. Works and Repairs. 



In consequence of the large expenditure upon the 

 New Offices, it was not thought advisable to undertake 

 any important new buildings in the Society's Gardens 

 in 1884. But the ordinary staff of workmen was kept 

 fully employed throughout the year on various small 

 works and repairs, and the numerous buildings and yards 

 have been kept in good order. Amongst the chief 

 buildings overhauled and repaired in 1884 may be men- 

 tioned the Clock-tower, the Elephant-house, the Green- 

 houses used by the Gardener, and the Head Keepei''s 

 Lodge. A set of new cases for smaller objects was pre- 

 pared and fixed in the Reptile-house. A large part of the 

 iron Boundary Fence between the Gardens and the Park 

 has been repaired, sci-aped, and repainted. A new shed 

 for the Gardener's use has been erected in place of one 

 accidentally destroyed by fire on the first of May last. 

 The old boiler and adjoining pipes at the Bears' dens 

 have been taken out and replaced, and the whole of the 

 heating-apparatus put into thorough repair. The re- 

 maining portions of the Kangaroo sheds have been re- 

 built on a better form, and the yards extended and 

 covered with glass, and part of the Western Aviary has 

 been repaired and painted.
