An unfortunate occurrence took place in the Society’s 
Gardens on the 6th oi December, 1866, which resulted in the 
death of two of the Society’s Giraffes—an adult female and 
her fawn. Shortly after the building had been closed for 
the night, a fire was discovered in the straw of the com- 
partment of the house in which the animals in question were 
lodged. It was quickly extinguished, but not before the 
_ two Giraffes had been killed from suffocation by the smoke. 
The cause of the fire has not been discovered, in spite of the 
most searching inquiry; but the occurrence is conjectured to 
have arisen from a box of fusees or lucifer matches having 
been accidentally left in the straw, and become ignited by the 
tread of the animals. ‘The loss, estimated at £545, was 
claimed, under the Society’s policy of insurance, of the Sun 
Fire-office, by whom the claim was admitted and discharged 
without delay.
