GENERAL NOTES. 
That Messrs. Bostock and Wombwell's No. 1 
Royal Menagerie visited Neath on Saturday, 
May 2i2nd, and was well patronised. A more 
interesting collection of wild animals is impos- 
sible in any travelling exhibition. They have 
the only hippopotamus touring, which is in fine 
condition, and living under ideal conditions. 
Capt. Wombwell goes through a thrilling per- 
formance with his famous den of lions. Great 
credit is due to the staff for the cleanly manner 
in which the whole show is laid out. A word 
of praise is also due to the excellent band for 
which the old firm is noted for. The draught 
horses to the number of about thirty are alone 
worth seeing. Their Welsh tour deserves to 
meet with every success. 
That the arrivals in London steamers have been : 
ex Royal Albert Docks — 16 Macaque monkeys, 
2i pigtails, 2 Moluccan white-crested cockatoos; 
ex Gravesend — 11 Rhesus monkeys, 136 white 
Java sparrows; ex Southampton — a few Amazon 
parrots, 1 potto, 2! blue sugar birds, 2 canary 
winged parrakeets; ex Liverpool steamers — 12! 
Anubis baboons, 4 drills, 1 vervet, 2 caratrix, 
1 mangabey, 1 mona, and about 18 grey par- 
rots. One steamer left with a young gorilla 
which, unfortunately, died during the voyage. 
That the arrivals ex Rotterdam — Parkestone 
Quay have been only some 1,000 conaries dur- 
ing the past month; also 2l5 pairs Carolina ducks. 
That besides the above arrivals, the following 
have arrived at the Zoological Society's Gar- 
dens in Regents Park for the week ending May 
30th, 1915, include: — Birds: 1 rosella parra- 
keet, 1 ring-necked parrakeet, 1 yellow-winged 
sugar-bird and 1 peregrine falcon. 
That 7 Stanley cranes arrived this month from 
South Africa — a very unusual consignment. 
That 9 Stanley cranes arrived this month from 
Commons on Monkeys and Whisky. Mr. Lloyd 
George reminded the House of the actual experi- 
ment carried out by scientific men, not on them- 
selves, but on two monkeys, which he described 
as Monkey A and Monkey B, and the House 
followed the record of this essay in scientific 
research with an interest as absorbing as that 
of the monkeys. First of all they took Monkey 
A and deliberately made him drunk on raw 
whisky — and the result was that he became 
furious and jabbered and spat with rage. 
Then Monkey B was completely intoxicated 
on matured whisky. He succumbed, of 
course, but he was quite friendly and beaming. 
Of course, that did not necessarily prove any- 
thing, for A might have been naturally ill-tem- 
pered, and B naturally mild and polite. So a 
week lated the processes were reversed — both 
monkeys being apparently quite willing to have 
another "go." This time A had the old stuff, 
and was soon as benevolent as a bishop, though 
completely drunk. B was filled with raw whisky 
and was as offensive as — well, as some people 
used to be when Lloyd George's name was men- 
tioned in connection with insurance ! It was in 
vain that all this was related — it seems that one 
or two big firms resent the proposal that no 
whisky under three years old should be sold. 
The Government has got its Bill — but I suppose 
there will be all sorts of compensation. 
That Mr. Robert Leadbetter, Hazelmere Park, 
Buckinghamshire, a very well-knoAvn fancier, 
and lately proprietor of that well-found private 
Menagerie at the Crystal Palace, has kindly 
consented to write a series of Articles on 
"Foreign Animals as Domestic Pets." 
That Reviews of the following Publications are, 
unfortunately, held over until the July number 
for want of space: — "The Zoologist"; "The 
Amateur Menagerie Club"; "Bird Notes"; "The 
Illustrated Official Guide to the London Zoo- 
logical Society's Gardens in Regents Park, 13th 
Edition, 1915"; "Catalogue of the Zoo, Monk- 
Fry ston Hall, Yorks, together with a Short 
History of the Hall."
