the time of the year, the same as the color of the Virginia Deer. 
The last compartment contains two grown and a young Fallow 
Deer ( Cervus dama) differing in color from the same species of Deer 
already mentioned. The color of the buck is a redish-brown, 
spotted with white, while that of the two does is of a deep blackish 
brown. The palmated horns only ornament this animal after it 
has attained a certain age. The horns of the young differ but 
slightly from the horns of the Virginia Deer. 
The Restaurant building to our left, we cross an open space, 
pass the Orchestra stand to our right and follow the main avenue to 
which we come, a short distance in a south-southwesterly direction, 
and now arrive at a massive octagon building. 
No. 19. — Monkey House . 
The occupants of this house belong to the order of Quadruma- 
nous, or four handed animals. The monkeys are divided into two 
great groups; the monkeys of the old and the monkeys of the new 
world. The monkeys of the old world ( Catarrhini ) inhabit Africa, 
India, Japan, China, Ceylon and the islands of the Indian Archi¬ 
pelago. The monkeys of the new world (Flatyrrhini) are confined 
to the warmer portions of South America. 
The first group are characterized by nostrils which converge 
at the lower extremity, and are there only separated by a narrow 
cartilage. They possess eight incisor teeth, four canines, and 
twenty molars. The second group are characterized by nostrils 
which open in a direction parallel to each other, separated by a 
cartilage as wide at the base as at the upper extremity. We enter 
the house on the east side and turn to our left. 
The first cage is occupied by 
The Roseate Cockatoo ( Cocatua roseicapilla). This bird never 
fails to attract attention by its beautiful plumage, consisting 
of a pale purple red in the lower body and neck, and a dark gray 
on the back. It is a native of Australia. 
The most agile of all the species of monkeys quartered in the 
different cages here is 
The Drill ( Cynoceplialus leucophaeus ), allied to the mandrill, but 
with a much brighter face and of a uniform dark color. 
The next cage contains a number of various species of monkeys, 
which can be almost constantly seen either climbing the ladder, 
swinging themselves on the trapeze or performing other acrobatic 
tricks. The monkeys in this cage are: 
a) The Anubis Baboon ( Cynocephalus Anubis), one of the finest
