The breeding of animals which may in many cases be- 
come acclimated with advantage, is an object to which zoolog- 
ical gardens have everywhere been specially devoted. In 
the early days of our Garden, while awaiting the completion 
of permanent buildings, many animals were kept in tem- 
porary and unsuitable quarters. This cause undoubtedly 
has prevented many species from breeding. Each year has, 
however, added to the number which reproduce, and the 
list of such species is steadily increasing. Those which have 
done so are given below : —
