application, to the affected parts, of a solution of corrosive sublimate, 
diarrhea and dysentery are got under by giving them various prepara- 
tions of the bael fruit (.<2gle marmelos), Dover's powder and aromatic 
powder of chalk. The Rhixoceri have been observed to suffer from tetanus, 
pulmonary inflammation and tuberculosis of the lungs and liver. Obstruction 
of the bowels and galloping consumption, respectively, were the causes of the 
deaths of two Tapirs (Tepirus malayanus), The Scindian Wild Ass (Equus 
onager) and Burchell’s Zebra (E. burchell’) have been observed to sutfer from 
rhoumatism, brought on by the dampness of the floor of their habitation ; but 
liability to it has been much diminished by providing them with wooden 
platforms 18 inches high to stand upon. The former is also very much 
troubled by sores and wounds, whichare got under by applying to them a 
dressing composed of tar, soap, sulphur and carbolic acid. The Bovide 
and three species of African antelopes (Orix bestia, O. leucoryx, and O, rea- 
canna) are very liable to attacks of rinderpest, parasites and diarrhea, the 
latter being cured by restricting the patients to a diet of bamboo leaves, 
Inflammation of the lungs isa common ailment among gazelles during the 
the rains and winter. They as well as the sheep and the goats in the Gardens 
also frequently suffer from diarrhea, <A giraffe in the collection died, it was 
surmised, of colic, or pulmonary inflammation. Experience has shown that 
the various species of deer are liable to all the ailments which afflict other 
members of the Ruminantia. The camels are subject to various kinds of 
cutaneous affection abscess of the liver, paralysis, hernia, prolapsus ani, and 
superficial ulcers ; the last can be got under only by the application of sulphur 
dust to the skin, as it prevents insects from lodging within the hair. The 
Marsupials in the Gardens have been found to suffer from paralysis of the 
lower limbs, pulmonary inflammation, diarrhea and scrofula. Orang-outangs 
(Siméa satyrus) in the collection are very liable to diarrhea, dysentery, bron- 
chitis, pulmonary inflammation and paralysis. Various preparations of dael 
and ipscacuanha have been found efficacious in checking diarrhoea and dysentery. 
Bronchitis yields to the administration of 5 drops of ipecacuanha wine mixed 
with honey or liquorice, the chest and the throat being alternately fomented 
and rubbed over with ammonia liniment. The hoolocks and gibbons (Aylo- 
bates), the semnotes (Semnopitheeus), and the macaques (Jacacus) suffer from 
diarrhea, bronchitis and consumption. Bael overcomes diarrhoea, while in 
bronchitis cases 10 grains of chlorate of potash in an ounce of simple syrup, 
with fomentation and chicken soup, afford great relief to the patient. If 
symptoms of consumption are discovered, the animal, if tame, should either 
be allowed to run about during the day, especially when the weather is fine, or 
otherwise should be removed from the monkey-house and confined in a spacious 
and airy cage; and it should be given a teaspoonful of syrup of hypophosphate 
of lime twice or thrice a day and a tea spoonful of glycerine with milk twice 
daily. The African :monkeys® of the genus Cercopithecus are very liable to
