perceived the anxiety of the older walruses to secure the 
food, and proceeded to emulate their example with the most 
vigorous appetites. Before long they were as tame and 
confiding as if they had been in the park all their lives. 
I may now give some statistics as to the population of 
my animal community and their necessaries of life. In 
August, 1908, I took a census of all my animals, which 
worked out as follows :— 
15 orangs, chimpanzees and gib- 
bons. 
109 monkeys of 22 different species. 
gt feline carnivores, including 49 
lions, 26 tigers, and 3 lion- 
tiger hybrids. 
18 polar bears. 
12 bears of other species. 
40 hyzenas and canine carnivores 
of 15 different species. 
13 elephants. 
3 giraffes. 
21 camels, 
lamas. 
57 deer. : 
43 head of cattle, including 12 
bison and 17 buffalo. 
84 wild sheep, domestic: sheep, 
ibexes, and goats, of 18 dif- 
ferent species. 
43 antelopes, including  elands, 
water-bucks, kudus, etc. 
dromedaries, and 
3 hippopotami. 1 wart-hog. 
2 African rhinoceroses. 73 equine herbivores, including 21 
4 tapirs. zebras.

4 sea-lions. species. 
1 sea-bear. 
96 rodents of 8 different species. 12 kangaroos. 
8 armadillos. 
There were 1,072 birds, including 48 African ostriches, 
18 South American ostriches, 11 Australian ostriches, 13 
cassowaries, 295 swimming birds, 273 waders, of which 
90 were flamingoes and 82 cranes, 16 birds of prey, 187 
fowls, 116 song birds, 69 parrots, and 21 toucans. 
Among reptiles I had 36 turtles, 11 crocodiles and alli- 
gators, and 68 snakes. 
The community consisted, therefore, of nearly 2,000 in- 
habitants, worth over 450,000.
