HAMLYN'S MENAGERIE MAGAZINE. 
The black swans breed regularly, so do the white 
but the rarer Bewick species has not so far inclined 
to nest. Twice in the early morning' I have seen 
the Sandpiper on the Lake, while during Winter 
at least three species of gull frequent these waters. 
Towards evening a heron may often be seen mak- 
ing its way to the pond in the grounds of the 
Botanical Society, while for lengthened periods 
another takes up its abode on one of the Islands of 
the Lake, attracted no doubt by the number of fish. 
British birds are well represented in the Park, 
especially when the generally unfavourable con- 
ditions are taken into account, and one day I may 
give a note on the rarer and most interesting 
species.

The above very interesting films will be shewn at 
Hammersmith first w : eek in August. "Peter" is 
about 2.', years old, very intelligent, as can be 
observed in above pictures, behaves exactly as a 
spoilt child when at liberty in the house. " Peter" 
is of an extremely jealous disposition, guarding 
me from all and sundry. He periodically chases 
the maid-of-all-work down the stairs, and also 
shews great animosity towards "Jan," my Belgian 
Griffon. He makes a great fuss of every telegraph 
messenger, but dislikes the representative of the 
purveyor of milk. Rises every morning about 
7.30, and is only too pleased to retire to resl in 
sleeping suit at 7.30 p.m. His diet consists of 
whatever is cooked for the household, with plenty 
of fruit and milk ad lib. "Peter" arrived in this 
country in March last, after a long journey through 
the Congo forest. His owner entered Africa on 
the East Coast, came through the forest, down the 
Congo River to Mataddi, where they shipped for 
England, landing at Plymouth after a stormy pas- 
sage. On some future occasion I shall relate to 
the readers of this Magazine further interesting 
notes on the many Chimpanzees that have passed 
through my hands.
