The “ Keptile House,” built in 1892, consists of a hall 
surrounded by cases and with two large tanks sunk in the 
centre of the floor. The visitors enter by a door in the east 
wall and pass round between the floor tanks and the wall 
cases. 
ANIMALS. 
I visited the Calcutta Zoological Garden on May 10, 11, 
12, 13, and 14, 1913. The number of species seen is 
given in the “ Analysis ” on pages 8 to 11, but the following

Mammalia. 
(1) Primates. 
An Albino Bandar, or Bengal Monkey, Macaciis rhesus. 
Two Golden Haired Bandars, Macacus rhesus ^;ur.(?) 
Three Brown Stump-tailed Monkeys, Macacus arctoides.

Calcutta Zoological Garden, died shortly before my visit. 
I was told it had lived here for twenty-nine years. 
(2) Carnivora. 
An Ounce, or Snow Leopard, Felis uncia. 
A Clouded Tiger, or Clouded Leopard, Felis nehidosa. 
A Crab-eating Mongoose, Herpestes urva. 
Three Pandas, or Bed Aelurus fulgens. 
(3) Ungidata. 
A magnificent pair of the Great One-horned Rhinoceros, 
Rhinoceros unicornis. 
It is to be hoped that these vei'y rare and valuable 
animals will breed here. As far as I know there 
is no record of a Rhinoceros unicornis having been 
born in captivity, but there seems no reason why 
such an event should not take place, as an Asiatic 
Two-horned Rhinoceros, Rhinoceros sumatrensis^ 
was born in the Victoria Docks, London, on board 
the S.S. “Orchis,” December 7, 1872 {vide Bartlett, 
P.Z.S., 1873, p. 104), and another of the same
