them with red deer—an experiment which has already been successful in our Zoological 
Gardens. 
The beautiful spotted Axis deer of India does exceedingly well on a dry and sandy 
soil where there is also good woodland shelter. Sir Edmund Loder has been very fortunate 
with these creatures, and a herd in their summer coats picking their way amongst the trees 
with the sun shining on their spotted backs is “ a goodly sight to see.”
