possible to make it accessible to the millions of 
people who visit the Zoological Park. It is pos- 
sible only to show it to the specially interested 
few who can properly be permitted to penetrate 
to the farthest corners of an office building. But 
the present home of the collection is only tem- 
porary. Already the Zoological Society has 
been unofficially invited to submit an estimate 
for a special building, to stand between the 
Primate House and the Administration Build- 
ing. The public is anxious to see the collec- 
tion, and the Society desires that every portion 
of it shall be made accessible to the millions 
who are interested in wild-animal life. We 
hope that a suitable building will be provided 
by the City, in the future. Wor tbs JB

A New White Goat.—The second addition to 
the little herd of white goats occurred on June 
8, when the remaining female from the original 
herd gave birth to a fine young male. The kid 
is a lusty specimen and promises to equal the 
first one, “Philip,” which is nearly matured. 
The mother is one of the herd of five that came 
to the Park in 1905. The collection now num- 
bers six animals, but two losses having occurred, 
—the mother of “Philip” and a young female 
that was received on deposit, May, 1909. The
