SECTION I—THE MAMMALS. 
THe Hoorep ANIMALS. 
The forming of a collection which shall fairly represent 
the hooted animals of the world is necessarily a work of 
years. It is now (in 1911) eleven years since the Zoological 
Society entered upon this task, and during that period the 
work of providing installations and hving specimens has 
been pursued with unflagging industry. In no feature of 
our development has the Society been more liberal than in 
the purchase of specimens for this collection, and the gifts 
to it have been both numerous and valuable. In our 81 
species and 327 specimens we feel that the Order Ungulata 
is strongly represented. On June 1, 1911, the summary 
of groups stood as follows:

The arrangement of this section of the Guide Book begins 
at the Buffalo Entrance with the Bisons, and follows the 
ranges, corrals and buildings for Hoofed Animals, along 
the southern and western sides of the Park, to the Axis Deer 
Range. The Elephant House is introduced as the visitor 
leaves Baird Court, going south. 
The large, open pastures are called ‘‘ranges,’’ and the 
smaller fenced enclosures are known as ‘‘corrals.’’ The 
fences are chiefly of hard steel wire, so strong and elastic 
that the animals cannot break through them.
