264 BEASTS AND MEN 
while among the tree-tops the thunder-lizard, the monstrous 
brontosaurus of one hundred and fifty feet long, will raise its 
head. The remaining part is to contain an ape house, a large 
monkey house, the ostrich farm, and other enclosures. 
Besides these various undertakings, I have recently pur- 
chased a new piece of ground to the north-east of the present 
portion of my park. Here another farm is being made, where 
new experiments in breeding cattle and equine animals are to 
be carried out. These experiments have already begun, but 
it will take several years before the arrangements are com- 
plete. Money is the first necessity for the execution of these 
projects, and I have therefore to exercise careful supervision 
in order to ensure that the business should be economically 
conducted. 
Let me take this opportunity of correcting an erroneous 
impression which has received widespread currency. It is 
not the case that any Bank or Financial Syndicate has any 
interest in the multifarious business situated at Stellingen. 
Both the park and the business itself are my own private 
property. The neighbouring land, on the other hand, be- 
longs, as I have already explained, to a limited Company in 
which | possess a certain interest.
