292 THE ZOOLOGIST. 
Suborder PROBOSCIDEA. 
Family HLEpHANTIDm™. 
The subject of Elephants, in which I have personally been 
much interested for several years, is too large to go into within 
the limits of this article. Their values depend on several quite 
different factors from those of the ordinary menagerie animal, 
which is never supposed to leave its cage. I will only mention 
here that according to recent price lists young Asiatic Hlephants 
are worth in Kurope from £200 upwards, and young Africans 
from £350 upwards. 
Suborder PERISSODACTYLA. 
As stated in the preface this article, being limited to my own 
personal experiences, I very much regret being unable to give 
any information as to the values of Rhinoceroses or Tapirs, and 
only the following few prices for members of the Hquide :— 
Equus prjewalsku, Asiatic Wild Horse.—£100 to £130 each. 
E. caballus var., Shetland Pony.—£10 to £12 10s. 
* »  davanese Pony.—£20 to £27 10s. 
H. asinus var., Sardinian Donkey.—£3 to £7 10s. 
i. “ teniopus,” African Wild Donkey.—£5 to £7. 
HE. “‘hemionus,” Asiatic Wild Donkey.—£22 10s., asked. 
EH. burchelli.—The various subspecies of Burchell’s Zebra form 
the large majority of all the Zebras to be seen in Zoological Gar- 
dens: their price is usually fairly stable at £100 per head, but 
it varies from £80 or £90 to as much as £150, for specimens of 
the rarer varieties. 
Suborder ARTIODACTYLA. 
Family Bovipz. 
The variety of prices among this great family, which includes 
the Cattle, Antelopes, Goats and Sheep, is perhaps the most in- 
teresting to be met with amongst all the families of Mammals: 
and it must be remembered how far from complete this list, of 
necessity, is, some of the finest species (for instance the Greater 
Kudu) not being mentioned. 
Cattle. 
Bos indicus.—Various races of the domestic Indian Cattle, 
commonly called Zebus in Kurope, are frequently offered for sale 
by Zoological Gardens and dealers, at every sort of price, accord- 
ing to age, size, sex and breed, from £2 10s. to £40 per head.
