MR. H. G. PLIMMER ON DEATHS 



Besides those tabulated above, 



113 animals were killed by order or by companions, 

 101 ,, died of starvation and malnutrition, 



7 ,, were not exainined, 

 108 ,, were too stale for detailed examination, 



these completing the total. 



In Table I. the classification is made into those diseases which 

 actually caused the death of the animals, but in a large number 

 of Mammals, Birds, and Reptiles other lesions were present which 

 helped towards the fatal issue, and these are classified in Table II. 

 If taken together with Table I. a much more accurate estimate of 

 the amount of disease in the Gardens will be arrived at. 



Table II. — Other Diseases found in the Animals tabulated in 



Table I.
