THK ZOOLOGICAL PARK GETS A 

 GORILLA. 



Two years as;o the New York Zoolosrical So- 

 ciety sent Mr. R. L. Garner to Africa to pro- 

 cure one or more gorillas, civilize them there, 

 and finally when well settled in the food habits 

 nf civilization bring them to New York. 



After many jtmgle explorations and vicissi- 

 tudes. Mr. Garner landed in New York on 

 August 2 L bringing with him what is certainly 

 one of the finest gorilla specimens that ever 

 came alive from Africa. Dinah is a female, 

 three years old. and at present in perfect health 

 — thanks to Mr. Garner's careful development 

 of her habits and temperament. She is cheerful 

 and affectionate, very lively and full of play- 

 fulness, and her ajipetite is everything that 

 could be desired. 



In all these ])articulars this gorilla is well- 

 nigh the direct op])ositc of nearlv everv gorilla 

 that ever came out of Africa. L'suallv gorillas 

 in captivity .ire morose, or even sullen, capri- 

 cious in appetite and strongly opp;)sed to taking 



physical exercise. There is every reason to 

 hope that Dinah will live long, and pros])er. 



Incidentally the Garner Gorilla Expedition 

 was a most gratifvine; success. 



ZOOLOGICAL PARK NOTES. 



Shippiiifj Deer. — We have been busy this 

 summer crating and shipping some of our sur- 

 plus deer which have been sent to various parts 

 of the country. The capturing and crating of 

 such extremely wild creatures as the sika deer, 

 axis deer, the white-tailed deer and the red 

 deer, require considerable skill and ingenuity. 

 Several of our keepers have been especially 

 trained for this work, but for various conditions 

 we lay out systematic campaigns, and in this 

 way are able to crate our animals without so 

 much as a scratch or bruise. 



Xeic IVoolli/ Monkef/s. — We have added two 

 more specimens of the Woolly Monkey to the 

 interesting exhibit that has for some years been 

 kept at the Rejitilc House. The new arrivals
