IOO TARONGA ZOOLOGICAL PARK. 



The space allotted to the collection of animals occupies about 30 acres in the central portion of the 

 area ; and this has been divided into sections to enable the several orders and families to be appro- 

 priately grouped. Wherever practicable, the enclosures have been specially constructed to provide 

 what each kind of animal requires in accordance with its habits and mode of life. Where possible 

 also, the method of caging animals has been abandoned ; and the concealed impassable moat and 

 the barrier of real and artificial rock have been substituted for the erstwhile rigid lines of iron bars 

 which inevitably suggest imprisonment. 



The accompanying illustrations (Plates XI. and XII.) show the original state of the present ^ites 

 of the monkey pit and the bear pits ; the latter in its present state, and a view from the grounds over- 

 looking the harbour.
