GUIDE TO THE GARDEN 
OF THE 
ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY 
OF PHILADELPHIA. 
The visitor taking the route laid down on the accompany¬ 
ing plan of the Garden, is supposed to enter at the Girard 
avenue gate; those entering at the other end of the Garden 
can, however, pursue the same course by taking the path to 
the right around the lake (No. n), and following the route 
until they come to the Penn Mansion, when they should 
turn to the left and enter the Carnivora House, after which 
the route can be followed until they are brought back to 
the point from which they started. As many of the animals 
are shifted from one place to another at different seasons, 
they will not always be found at the location designated by 
the Guide; each cage, however, bears the name of the ani¬ 
mal which it contains, and its description can readily be found 
by a reference to the index at the close of the book. 
It should be added that a collection of living animals is 
constantly changing by deaths and by additions. At no 
moment, therefore, can it exactly correspond to a printed 
catalogue, which will always contain a few species not seen 
by the visitor in the enclosures, and on the other hand will 
be silent concerning others among late arrivals.

There would appear to be little in common between the 
domestic tabby, which lies purring before the fire, and the

there is no difference between them so far as the essential
