1893-94.— The English Illustrated Magazine, Lon- 

 don, Illustrated London News Office. In No. 121, October 1893, 

 there is an interesting memoir entitled: — A Naturalist in a 

 Swiss Forest, by C. Parkinson, with very good illustrations, 

 by George E. Lodge. In Number 124, January 1894, The 

 Zoo REVISITED, A Chat with the Sacred Ibis, by Phil 

 Robinson, is spirited and very good. In the course of his 

 chat with the Ibis, Mr. Robinson remarks that different species 

 of birds are put together in the same cage, and that labels 

 with the names of the species enclosed, are attached to the 

 cage, but that it is quite impossible for the Visitor to make 

 out which is which. That is what I have found myself in 

 many Zoological Gardens, and it ought to be remedied at once, 

 by giving illustrations, with names of the species exhibited.
