4 
species in Calcutta in 1889 {vide Basu, “Guide to 
the Zoological Garden, Calcutta,” 1910, p. 14).* 
Four Malay Tapirs, Tapirus indica. 
Four Gayals, Bos frontalis. 
Two Bantings, Bos sondaicus. 
An American Bison, Bos bison. 
An Anoa, Bos depressicornis. 
A pair of African Waterbuck, Gobus iinctuosus (appa- 
rently). 
A male Blessbok, Damaliscus albifrons. 
A male Princess Beatrice’s Antelope, Oryx beatrix. 
A female Addax, Addax nasomaculatus. 
Five Four-horned Antelopes, Tetraceros quadric, ornis. 
Four Bdrasingha, or Swamp Deer, Germs duvaiiceli. At 
the time of my visit the big stag was making the 
garden resound with its voice, a loud “bray.” 
Fourteen Brow-antlered Deer, or Thameng, Germs eldi. 
Five Rib-faced, or Barking Deer, Cermdus muntjac. 
A pair of Hippopotamus, Hippopotainus amphibius. Both 
the male and the female are very dangerous ; I was 
told that about eighteen months ago the male killed 
his keeper, suddenly attacking and crushing the man 
in his mouth. 
(4) Marsupialia. 
Two Tasmanian Devils, Sarcophiliis ursinus. 
An albino Kangaroo, and an albino Wallaby. 
Aves. 
(1) Passer es. 
Lesser Bird of Paradise, Paradisea minor, a cock and a hen. 
Greater Bird of Paradise, Paradisea apoda, one cock. 
Red Bird of Paradise, Paradisea rubra ^ four cocks. 
Twelve-wired Bird of Paradise, Seleucides nigricans.^ one 
cock over seven years here. 
I noted that the Rose-coloured Starlings, Pastor 
roseus^ in the Calcutta and other Indian Zoological 
Gardens were in their beautiful pink plumage, 
which they do not assume in Giza or, so far as I 
have seen, in caj^tivity in Europe.
