lection of different kinds of birds. There are some 
fine specimens of the Australian Eagle {Aquila Audax) ;

No 35. The Wallaby Paddock. There are several 
varieties of these pretty little animals in the Society’s 
collection, all of which breed regularly. Foremost 
among them is the Yellow-footed Eock Wallaby 
{Betrogale Xantliopus) of South Australia ; it is of a 
light brown color, very prettily marked, and its long 
tail is striped or barred like a tiger’s. Then come 
the Gloved Wallaby {Halmatv/rus Manicatus), the Brush- 
tailed Wallaby {Salmaturus TTalabatus), and the Paddy- 
melon (^Halmaturus Billardieri) , the latter generally 
found in the salt bush country. 
No. 36. A small enclosure, in which are several 
Native Turkeys or Bustards [Otis Austrolasianus) . 
No. 37. The Eefreshment Eoom. Which is in 
the occupation of Mr. W. Strickland of Brunswick, and 
has proved a great convenience to visitors. 
It is intended shortly to enlarge the Eeptile House, 
and to erect a new cage for the Hysena, who at present 
is poorly provided for. Further additions to the collection 
are expected from the Zoological Society of Batavia, and 
the Council of the Society is determined to spare no efibrt 
to keep up and add to the attractions of the Gardens.
