III. GARDENS, REGENT’S PARK, 
1. Burnpines AND Works. 
During the past year the principal special works executed 
in the Gardens were in connexion with the new Lion- 
house, upon the further completion of which the sum of 
£4761 6s. was expended in 1876. In 1875 the sum of 
£6966 1s. 3d. was devoted to the same object, thus making 
the total expenditure on the building, and the works con- 
nected therewith, up to the close of 1876, to £11,727 7s. 3d. 
In their last year’s report the Council gave full details 
concerning this most important addition to the buildings 
in the Gardens; and it is now only necessary to say that 
the new Lion-house has hitherto answered its purpose in 
every way, and is by far the largest and most completely 
fitted-up building for the accommodation of the larger 
Carnivora yet erected. The dens have been fully filled 
with an excellent series of the larger members of the Cat 
tribe for now more than fifteen months*. The health of
