(v) The otters are accommodated in a nice pond with 
an island and much vegetation. 
(vi) A female Princess Beatrice’s Antelope, Oryx 
heatrix. 
(vii) A Goral, Cemas goral. 
(viii) Four individuals of the Sind race of the Persian 
Wild Goat, Capra hirciis hlythi {vide Lydekker, 
“Brit. Mus. Cat.,” Ungulate Mammals, I, 1918, 
p. 159). This fine species breeds here. 
(ix) Six individuals of the Ghud, the Sind race of the 
Urial Wild Sheep, which may perhaps be identical 
with the Afghanistan race, Ovis vignei cycloceros 
{vide Lydekker, “Brit. Mus. Cat.,” Ungulate 
Mammals, I, 1913, p. 89). 
(x) Nine individuals of the Sind race of the Wild Boar, 
which appears to be a rather small form of Sus 
cristatus. 
(xi) Two Eagle-Owls, which Mr. Farrell told me were 
of the Indian species Buho coromandus^ which 
have now been between five and six years here 
and have been fed only on butcher’s meat, varied 
by an occasional dead Crow, Corvus splendens. 
These fine Owls appeared to be in excellent 
condition. 
(xii) Eight grey, white -throated individuals of the very 
graceful Indian Reef- Heron, Lepierodius asha. 
A species of bird very seldom seen alive in a 
zoological garden. 
Of the wild fauna of the Karachi Zoological Garden it 
may be mentioned that pretty little striped Palm- Squirrels, 
Sciurus p)almarum^ abound, that the Crows, Corvus splendens^ 
are so numerous and prove themselves such a nuisance that 
they have to be systematically shot down from time to time, 
and that a few Cormorants and a large number of Pond- 
Herons and Night-Herons frequent the waterfowl ponds of 
their own accord. 
The Victoria Museum, about a mile and a half from the 
Zoological Gardens, is open free to the public and kept up 
at the expense of the Municipality of Karachi. It is a
