LIVE BIRD COLLECTIONS OF THE ZOOLOGICAL PARK. 



It is unnecessary to suggest to the careful observer the amount of human effort, and also 

 avian endurance, that has been involved in gathering all these birds, and hundreds more, from 

 near and from far. caring for them in their infancy, and transporting them, without starvation, to 

 their present home. Nor do we need to suggest the quality or the quantity of the skill and indus- 

 try that is required of the staff of the bird department, to take this cosmopolitan assemblage 

 of appetites and wants, and enable these 2799 specimens to live together in this one spot. It is 

 believed that all the efforts represented on this map of the world, and by the birds not indicated 

 thereon, will be appreciated by the public. W. T. H.
