nice trees. There is one on either side of the 
main path, just inside the entrance gate, and three 
others in the Lion Paddock. 
(hi) The Stone Elephant, from the Island of Elephanta, 
near Bombay. The remains of this great statue 
are on the right of the entrance gate as one 
approaches the gardens. 
(iv) The Lion Paddock, constructed in 1906 at a cost of 
about 9,000 rupees (£600), and the Tiger 
Paddock, constructed in 1909 for about 16,500 
rupees (£1,100). It is difficult to believe that 
these really magnificient cages could have been 
built for such comparatively small sums. 
The installation for lions consists of an enclosure about 
290 feet (88*39 metres) in circumference, open at the top, 
and surrounded by an iron fence 20 feet (6*09 metres) in 
height; also a smaller enclosure about 110 feet (33*52 metres) 
in circumference, and two rooms, which the animals can be 
shut into : one, in interior dimensions, 18 feet (5*50 metres) 
in length by 12 feet (3*65 metres) in width, and about 
10 feet (3*04 metres) in height; the other 10 feet (3*04 metres) 
by 11^ feet (3*50 metres) and of the same height as the 
larger room. Nine trees are growing in the Lion Paddock, 
which, as far as I could identify them, are : — 
Three Tebeldis, Adaiisonia digitata^ two “ Custard Apples,” 
Polyalthia longifolia^ one Sissu, Dalbergia sissoo, one 
Palmyra Palm, Borassus flabedliformis , one Garcinia sp. 
and one Sterculia sp. 
The installation for tigers consists of an enclosure about 
340 feet (103*63 metres) in circumference, open at the top, 
and surrounded by an iron fence 20 feet (6*09 metres) in 
height, and three rooms, itito which the animals can be shut. 
One room, in interior dimensions, 12 feet (3*65 metres) 
in length by 8 feet T2*43 metres) in width, and two rooms 
9 feet (2*74 metres) by 8 feet (2*43 metres), all three 
rooms being 6 feet (1*82 metres) in height. Between 
these rooms and the open paddock there is a covered shelter 
for the animals, 33 feet (10*05 metres) long by 8 feet
