In conclusion, I may say that I always feel proud of 

 the flora and fauna of the grand old Park over which I 

 have charge — especially when the small acreage and very 

 unfavourable surroundings are taken into account ; and it 

 will always be my study to make the Park, as far as possible, 

 a sanctuary for our wild birds and plants. 



I have no hesitation, however, in saying that were it 

 not for the enclosed portions of the Park — the wilderness, 

 Ranger's ground, Observatory and One-tree-hill, and deer 

 enclosure — many of the birds which now breed and find a 

 home would only be known as casual visitors, and the rarer 

 plants would cease to exist. 



The following is a complete list of the birds and plants 

 that I have observed in the Park : —
