Three Elands have been born in the Gardens since the 
last Anniversary, making a total of twenty-one births of 
this Antelope in our Establishment since the arrival of the 
late Lord Derby’s herd, bequeathed to the Society in 1851, 
as the subjoined List will show. The fact that all of them 
have been safely reared and, with one exception, reached 
maturity, sufficiently demonstrates the hardy nature of this 
animal and its ready adaptability to domestication.
