FROM the Entrance Lodges (1) the visitor proceeds along 
the Terrace (2) to the Pit (3), in which are kept several 
Bears : among them a 
LARGE AMERICAN BEAR. (A Female.) 
From the Northern parts of America. It is probably identical with 
the European brozon Bear, although it surpasses in size most indi- 
viduals of that race. — Presented to the Society by the Rev. Edgell 
Edgell. 
AMERICAN BLACK BEAR, 
Ursus Americanus, Pall. L’Ours noir, Desm. L’Ours noir de 1’Ame- 
rique Septentrionale, Guv. Black Bear, Penn. 
Native of North America, living on vegetables, roots, and fruits; 
but it occasionally resorts to the sea-coasts, and then it feeds on fish. 
Is much smaller than the European Bear.— A. specimen from Canada 
was presented to the Society by the Earl of Dalhousie. 
CINNAMON BEARS. (Male and Female.) 
Imported and presented by the Hudson’s Bay Company. They 
are animals of the year 1829. Cinnamon Bears , which are also 
called Chocolate Bears, are considered a variety of the preceding spe- 
cies. In a wild state they are said to be much more powerful, fierce, 
and vicious than the black Bear , and to inhabit the open and upland 
grounds of their native country, whilst the black Bears are found 
only in the close and wooded districts. Notwithstanding the violence 
of their disposition when wild, under domestication they become as 
tame and tractable as the others. Their range through the Northern 
parts of America equals that of the black Bear. 
Adjoining the Bear Pit is a Rustic Seat (4), in which the 
wife of one of the under-keepers is permitted to attend during 
the hours of exhibition, for the sale of cakes, fruit, nuts, and
