XVI,— NOTES AT LAHORE. 
The Lahore Zoological Garden occupies the west end of 
the “Lawrence Gardens,” which cover an area of about 112 
acres (45*32 hectares). 
This zoological garden is under the Punjaub Govern- 
ment, and is supported by a Government grant and by a 
subsidy from the Lahore Municipality ; it is in the charge 
of a paid Curator, Mr. A. W. Pinto, and is open free to 
the public. 
The menagerie may be divided into three sections : — 
(1) An inner part with the office, cages for primates and 
carnivora, aviaries, a snake house (erected November 15, 
1912, but now empty), and some tanks containing many 
very big gold fish. 
(2) A pretty shady pond for waterfowl, frequented by 
wild Night Herons, Nycti corax yriseus. 
(3) An outer part occupied by a series of large grass 
paddocks for ungulates and domestic poultry, and a paddock 
containing a pond and much vegetation, surrounded by a 
high wire fence, inhabited by a beautiful specimen of the 
Frontier Wolf, Oanis lupus {see PI. V). 
This garden is celebrated for having formerly been the 
home of the tiger “ Moti.” The late Mr. J. L. Kipling, 
C.I.E., records two of the adventures of “ Moti ” in his book 
“Beast and Man in India” (1904), on pages 356 and 357. 
When I visited Lahore on May 20 and 21, 1913, there 
were no tigers living in the collection, which, however, 
contained a Tahr, Hemitragus j.emlaicus^ a species of Indian 
wild goat frequently seen in zoological gardens in Europe, 
but the only specimen I saw^ in India. The Mondl or 
Impeyan Pheasant, Lophophorus refiilgens^ should also be 
specially mentioned. Pretty little striped Palm Squirrels, 
Sciurus volmarum^ abound here, and among the wild birds 
were the Punjaub Bulbul, Moljjastes intermedlus^ the White- 
eared Bulbul, Molpastes leucotis^ the Black Robin, Thamnobia
