i6o THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS OF EUROPE 



The number of big, shady trees, the ponds, the pic- 

 turesque buildings, the neatly-laid- out walks, the large 

 open lawns, and the beds of flowers, all help to make 

 this Garden one of the prettiest in Europe. The view 

 from the restaurant terrace of the lake and tower, 

 surrounded by trees, is one of the most striking I can 

 remember. 



I visited other Zoological Gardens in Germany 

 besides those described above. There is one at 

 Augsberg, one at Karlsruhe, one at Mulhausen, and 

 one at Nymj^henburg ; but as there is nothing very 

 remarkable about them, and one or two possess no 

 carnivorous animals, they may well be j)assed over in 

 a work which is already far too long.
