health. Upon the whole the gardens at Cologne seemed to be 
well laid out, and the health of the different species exhibited 
was good. 
The collection at Antwerp was very much finer than that at 
Cologne. The gardens did not please me so well: I cannot say 
I admire the plan of making the architecture of the houses in 
imitation of the style prevailing in the countries where the species 
exhibited are indigenous. 
The Antwerp Gardens were very rich in hollow-horned rumi- 
nants. The names of the following species will give some idea 
of the extent of the collection in this respect :— 
Two Agoceros unctuosus from Senegal. 
Two Hippotragus equinus from Central Africa. These were very 
grand animals, with fine spreading ears, even larger than those of 
the koodoo. 
Two Acronotus bubalis from Sahara. 
One Alcephalus Caama from South Africa. 
One Addax nasomaculata from Nubia. 
One Catoblepas Gnu from South Africa. 
One Damalis albifrons from South Africa. 
Four Antilope cervicapra from North India. 
Two A. Isabella from South Africa. This species I have always 
found to be rare in collections. 
Three Oryx leucoryx from Central Africa. 
One Tragelaphus strepsiceros from North-Eastern Africa. This 
rare animal was in a fine state of health. 
One Tragelaphus sylvaticus. 
Three Oreas canna from South Africa. These were fine 
specimens. 
One Cervulus moschatus from South Africa. 
One Cephalophus, but I am not certain of the species. 
Three Ovis tragelaphus. One, an old male, was a grand animal. 
One Bos americanus from North America. 
One B. frontalis from North-Eastern India. 
Four B. grumniens from Thibet. I had never before seen so 
good a collection of yaks. 
There were three specimens of the new species of buffalo from 
the Gaboon, Bos pumilus. This species I had never seen before ; 
it is widely distinct from the common buffalo, and I have little 
doubt is a good species.
