ZOOLOGISCHER GARTEN, BRESLAU 135 



In 1900 the total head was 1,G19. The following 

 were born in the Garden in 1901 : 34G animals of 35 

 species, including 3 lions, 2 leopards, 1 brown bear, 

 5 wolves, 2 kangaroos, 1 Shetland pony, 1 zebra, 1 

 llama, 1 camel, 2 nylgai antelopes, several deer, goats 

 and sheep, some Angora cats, and a number of small 

 rodents. Several of the above, however, died soon after 

 birth. 



Many silver pheasants, peacocks, storks, and other 

 birds were hatched, and many animals were presented 

 and bought. The loss of animals during 1901 w^as 5 

 per cent, of the total value of the stock, against 10 per 

 cent, of the total stock in 1900. Of the more valuable 

 animals there died during the course of the year : 

 1 lioness, from an old lung trouble ; 1 pair of panthers, 

 from tuberculosis of the lungs ; 1 drill, from consump- 

 tion ; 1 old steinbock, from inflammation of the intes- 

 tines ; 3 beavers, from old age ; 2 red-necked kangaroos, 

 from consumption ; 1 nylgai, from catarrh of the 

 stomach ; 1 white llama, from old age ; 1 male ostrich, 

 from peritonitis ; 1 swan, from wounds received from 

 the spurs of a goose. 



On entering this Garden my camera, for the second 

 time during my tour of the Continental Zoos, was 

 wrested from me, in spite of my pleadings in the very 

 best German I could muster. 



Passing some pheasant pens, the lion house is first 

 encountered, containing, amongst other animals, three 

 baby lions and two baby Himalayan bears. A second 

 house of carnivorous animals contained more lions, two 

 caracals, some pumas, some small cats, and hysenas.
