After the inspection of the llamas and Maccaws the course 
to be pursued in viewing the collection is to enter, through a 
door to the South, the Court Yard (8), in which are the fol- 
lowing Quadrupeds. 
In the large iron cages on the right, 
EUROPEAN BROWN BEAR. 
Ursus Arctos, Linn. L’Ours, Buff. L’Ours brim, Destn. L’Ours 
brim d’ Europe, Cuv. Brown Bear, Penn. 
Native of the Northern parts of Europe and Asia, and living among 
mountains and in forests. Feeds chiefly on vegetable diet. The flesh 
of young bears is eatable. — One of the specimens exhibited is a young 
female from Siberia, presented by Thomas Horton, Esq. 
AMERICAN BLACK BEAR. 
(See page 3.) 
SIBERIAN BEAR, 
Ursus collaris. F. Cuv. 
Distinguished by its large size, and by the broad white collar sur- 
rounding its neck. It may be doubted whether it is more than a variety 
of the brown Bear of Europe. 
In the Chambers under the Terrace opening into this Yard 
is confined the 
GRISLY BEAR. 
Ursus ferox, Lewis & Clarke. Ursus horribilis, Ord. L’Ours gris, Desm. 
This is the most powerful and probably the largest kind of Bear that 
now exists. It is also the most ferocious j and surprising histories are 
related by travellers concerning its wonderful tenacity of life. It inhabits 
the base of the Rocky Mountains in North America. — The present in- 
dividual was brought to England upwards of twenty years since by the 
Hudson’s Bay Company, by whom it was presented to His late Majesty 
King George 111. It remained in the Menagerie at the Tower until the 
accession of His present Majesty, who munificently presented it, together 
with the whole of the Royal Collection of living animals, to the Society. 
The Enclosed Yard (9) is occupied by various ruminating 
Quadrupeds. Among these may be noticed the 
PERSIAN SHEEP. 
Ovis Aries, var. steatopyga, Pall. 
A singular variety from India, presented by Septimus Burton, Esq.
