At the time that Australia was suffering so heavily 
from the epidemic of pneumonic influenza, four animals in 
our Gardens were attacked by this disease and succumbed, 
namely, 2 Wolves and 2 Dingoes. It also made its appear¬ 
ance among the Lions and Bears, but these recovered under 
treatment by the Society’s Hon. Veterinary Surgeon, Dr. 
Kendall, and the Society was fortunate in not suffering more 
losses by this dread disease. 
In conclusion, the Council desires to thank those who 
have so kindly presented native animals and birds to the 
Gardens, and to express its appreciation of the services of 
the Staff.
