Messrs. Cross had 50 Mongooses shipped; 

 not one arrived alive. 



There were also 4 Shamahs, 4 Drongas, 4 

 Mvnahs. 



I am sorry not to have mentioned before the 

 arrival home of Mr. Frost from New Guinea. 



I understand the consignment was for Lord 

 Tavistock. The Birds of Paradise, Pitta, Wal- 

 lace's Fruit Pigeons, with others, remain at the 

 Zoological Gardens, while the remainder were 

 sent to the Isle of Wight. I understand there are 

 some new specimens, also many very rare Par- 

 rots and Parrakeets. Mr. Frost has my congratu- 

 lations on his safe return, after such a lengthy 

 visit to the East. 



The famous Bronx Park Zoological Society 

 of New York are re-stocking the Zoological Gar- 

 dens, Antwerp. 



This shipload is the fulfilment of a promise 

 made two years ago by Dr. William T. Horna- 

 day, Director of the Bronx Zoological Gardens, 

 that the moment the war was over he would ship 

 the animals, to Antwerp. 



Three hundred and sixty-nine animals of 162 

 species are being sent. They consist of sixty- 

 eight individual mammals of forty-one species; 

 232 birds representing 103 species, and sixty-nine 

 reptiles of eighteen species. Most of the animals 

 were born at the Zoological Gardens. 



Another cargo is to leave shortly, consisting 

 of jaguars, bears, bison and bulls, deer, sheep, 

 goats, a chimpanzee, and monkeys. 



The first arrival since 1914 of Italian Gold- 

 fish arrived here on November 26th. 5,500 were 

 despatched. 4,800 arrived alive, the mortality 

 being due to a defective tin, otherwise the fish 

 arrived in good condition. They were sold in 

 one lot. 



The Kangaroos shipped by Mr. E. Bone, of 

 Adelaide, are now on deposit at the Zoological 

 Gardens, Regents Park. They are four very fine 

 animals, and well worth inspecting. It is the 

 largest White Kangaroo that I have ever seen.
