No 35. The Wallaby Paddock. There are several 
varieties of these pretty little animals in the Society s 
collection, all of which breed regularly. Eoremost 
among them is the Yellow-footed Rock Wallaby 
( Betrogale Xanihopus) of South Australia; it is of a 
light brown color, very prettily marked, and its long 
tail is striped or barred like a tiger’s. Then come 
the G-loved Wallaby ( Halmaturus Manicatus), the Brush- 
tailed Wallaby (Halmaturus Ualdbatus ), and the Paddy- 
melon (Halmaturus Billardieri ), the latter generally 
found in the salt bush country. 
No. 36. A small enclosure, in which are several 
Native Turkeys or Bustards ( Otis Australasianus) . 
No. 37. The Refreshment Room. Which is in 
the occupation of Mr. W. Strickland of Brunswick, and 
has proved a great convenience to visitors. 
It is intended shortly to enlarge the Reptile House, 
and to erect a new cage for the Hyaena, who at present 
is poorly provided for. Eurther additions to the collection 
are expected from the Zoological Society of Batavia, and 
the Council of the Society is determined to spare no effort 
to keep up and add to the attractions of the Gardens.
