ZOOL)GICAL GARDEN, VIENNA: INSPECT. )R, A. KRAUS 



This Garden, which belongs to the Emperor of Austria, 

 is situated in the grounds of the Emperor's summer 

 residence at Schonbrunn, an environ of Vienna. No 

 one is permitted to take photographs in it. 



After passing through the palace-gates, turn to the 

 right, and a short walk through beautifully kept 

 gardens brings you to the Zoological Garden, in which 

 there is a fine collection of animals and birds. The 

 first cages are occupied by goats and sheep, forming a 

 large representative collection. One black-and-white 

 domestic-looking sheep, which I did not recognise, and 

 which, unfortunately, had no name on its pen, was 

 almost as high at the withers as a fallow buck. There 

 was also a herd of the very curious, fat-tailed, white 

 sheep with black heads from Somaliland. Keeping to 

 the left, we encounter no less than three lion houses, 

 all well filled. Next comes a monkey house, with 

 large outside cages of novel construction. The ante- 

 lope houses have open-air paddocks close by them, 

 into which the animals are driven throuo-h railed-off 

 passages. 



There were nylgai, gnus, Oiija- hcisa, and the rarely- 

 seen Ori/x addax. One seldom sees the hartebeest
