tors in locating the various ';ollections of animals, a perfect 

 zoological arrangement was impossible. The existing plan 

 represents the limit of acceptable possibilities in grouping 

 related animals. 



The entire southern and western sides of the Park are 

 exclusively devoted to the Hoofed Animals, in addition to 

 which other members of that Order will be found at the 

 Elephant and Small-Mammal Houses. The Carnivorous 

 Animals will be found at the Lion House, Wolf and Fox 

 Dens, Small-Mammal House and Bear Dens. The Birds are 

 in two groups; one in the lower end of Bird Valley, and the 

 Large Bird House on Baird Court; the other around the 

 Wild-Fowl Pond, south of the Wolf Dens. 



The existence of six entrances to the Park renders it im- 

 possible to lay out an all-embracing "tour" for the visitor, 

 and develop the Guide Book accordingly. The various col- 

 lections will be handled in zoological groups, but the various 

 groups cannot follow each other in zoological sequence. The 

 table of contents (pages vii and viii) and a comprehensive 

 index will render each item of the subject matter quickly 

 available.
