species referred to the Genus Fells, and for that cause are justly con- 
sidered as distinct from the rest of that Genus. 
One pair of those exhibited is from Senegal : the other pair is from 
Bombay, and was presented to the Society by His Excellency Lord Clare. 
Opposite to these Dens is a Temporary Building ( 13) 
(framed so as to be convertible to other purposes hereafter), in 
which are occasionally kept some animals, for which permanent 
accommodations have not yet been provided, or which are re- 
moved from their own buildings during the colder season. At 
present there are here the 
INDIAN ANTELOPE. 
Antilope Cervicapra, Pall. 
An adult male. The female is without horns, and of a much paler 
colour. 
MUNTJAK DEER. 
Cervus Muntjak, Zimm. 
Probably the smallest of the Deer tribe. It is doubtful whether the 
Muntjak of the Continent of India is not distinct from that of the Indian 
Islands. This individual is from the Continent. 
The two latter species w'ere presented by Colonel Sykes. 
They are occasionally let out for exercise in the Enclosure 
(15). 
WEASEL-HEADED ARMADILLO. 
Dasypus sex-cinctus, Linn. 
Native of South America. Young of this species have been several 
times produced in the Menagerie: their growth is very rapid.— Pre- 
sented by Thomas Warre, Esq. 
These animals are let out on fine days in the Enclosure for 
Small Quadrupeds (31). 
The collection of Land Tortoises ( See page 20) is also kept 
here during winter. 
Here likewise during the winter are many of the less hardy 
Birds, which in summer are exhibited in more exposed situations 
in the Gardens : such as some of the Maccaws, from the Mac- 
caw Cage (7); and the more tender species of Doves from the 
Dove Cote (30).
