JARDIN ZOOLOGIQUE, GHENT 65 



one of* the principal homes of these black-and-white 

 sheep. 



In the centre of the Garden is another pond, upon 

 which were ducks, swans, pelicans, storks, and cor- 

 morants. There was a pen of Angora sheep, the old 

 ram having most beautifully twisted horns. In a 

 rockery was one of the prettiest sights in the Garden 

 — a herd of Barbary sheep, a favourite animal in Con- 

 tinental zoos ; behind them were a herd of yak, and 

 one of white llamas. 



Anyone who happens to find himself in Ghent with 

 an hour to spare should visit the Garden. It is close 

 to the railway-station.
