> ae itate. geologists, I have brought here this evening. I 
aoe far exceeds, in fulness of detail and artistice skill, anything whic

By the report of the Director of the N ew York Central Ps | 
menagerie, we notice that the number of animals on exhibiti

a tapir, the first of the species ever imported to this country.
