ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS OF THE WOULD. 183 



in some doubt, as I have been told it was closed in 1904, but 

 also heard it "well spoken of" in 1907. 



120. Mulhausen. — A small Zoological Garden founded in 

 1868, but nearly destroyed in 1870, when it became the site 

 of an encounter between the French and German troops. It is 

 now under the Municipality, Herr H. Schwantge being the 

 Superintendent. 



121. Munchen-Gladbach. — A small Zoological Garden for- 

 merly existed at this town. 



122. Munich. — The Zoological Garden founded in 1863 ap- 

 pears to have come to an end in 1866. A new institution is now 

 in process of formation. 



A collection of deer and waterfowl has long been maintained 

 at Nymphenburg, in the neighbourhood of Munich. 



123. Munster. — The Westphalian Zoological Gardens were 

 founded in 1875. Herr Heinrich Goffart is the Inspector in 

 charge. Dr. H. Keeker, the Director of the Natural History 

 Museum of the Province, and other local gentlemen form an 

 honorary committee of management. 



124. Posen. — Zoological Garden started in 1881. Herr Max 

 Meissner is Director. 



125. Solingen. — A small Zoological Garden owned by Wittwe 

 G. Baver. 



126. Stettin. — The small Zoological Garden of Stettin ap- 

 pears to have had a chequered career; originally opened in 

 1882, it closed in 1884, was re-started, but closed again in 1903, 

 but was open in 1907 with however a collection of only about 

 six mammals and a few dozen birds, and these mostly domestic, 

 I am told. 



127. Stuttgart. — The Zoological Gardens of the capital of 

 Wiirtemburg have had various changes both of management and 

 of site. The old Koyal Menagerie dates from 1812. The garden 

 that became so well known under the Directorship of Herr A. 

 Nill from 1870. The existing garden of which Herr Theodor 

 Widmann is proprietor is only a few years old. 



128. Ulm-on-Danube. — There is no zoological garden at 

 Ulm, but at Donautal is the trading Tier park and wild animal 

 depot of Herr Julius Mohr, jun.
