NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL PARK. 19 



and it affords easy access to the most important group of 

 buildings. It is subject to the same regulations as all other 

 entrances, except that carriages and automobiles are ad- 

 mitted. 



The Boston Road, which runs through the Park from 

 south to north, near the western bank of the Bronx Lake, is 

 open at all hours. It has recently — and for the first time — 

 been finely improved by the Park Department for the Bor- 

 ough of the Bronx, and a drive through it affords a fine 

 view of the eastern side of the Buffalo Range, and the finest 

 portion of the heavy forest of the Zoological Park. 



As a matter of course, the ranges of the buffalo, antelope, 

 deer, moose, and elk, are in full view from the Kingsbridge 

 Road and Southern Boulevard, and the Zoological Society 

 has planned that the view from those avenues shall be left 

 open sufficiently that the herds may be seen to good ad- 

 vantage. 



The Rocking Stone Restaurant, No. 46, has been designed 

 to serve all the purposes that its name implies. It contains 

 dining-rooms in which full meals may be obtained, lunch- 

 rooms wherein choice food will be served at popular prices, 

 and in the basement, toilet-rooms will be found. 



The Service Building, No. 28. — Near the Reptile House, 

 and at the geographical center of the enclosed grounds, is 

 situated a building which contains the Bureau of Adminis- 

 tration of the Zoological Park. Here will be found the offices 

 of the Chief Clerk, several other Park officers, and the work- 

 shops and storerooms. 



Children lost in the Park, and property lost or found, 

 should be reported without delay at the Chief Clerk's office 

 in this building. The telephone call of the Zoological Park 

 is 953 Tremont. 



Wheeled Chairs. — By persons desiring them, wheeled 

 chairs can always be obtained at the entrances, by applying 

 to gatekeepers, or at the office of the Chief Clerk, in the 

 Service Building. The cost is 25 cents per hour; with an 

 attendant, 50 cents per hour. 



Arrangement of Collections. — Inasmuch as the physical 

 features of the Zoological Park grounds were important fac- 

 tors in locating the various collections of animals, a perfect 

 zoological arrangement was impossible. The existing plan 

 represents the limit of acceptable possibilities in grouping 

 related animals.
