the Pacific. He also presented a few
of those monstrouS Sea-going turtles
and some unknown finny creatures
caught in the recent cruise of the
Nourrnahal up and down the Chilean
coast. The aquarium at old Castle
Garden rapidly is attaining the fame
which pertains to older collections of
the inhabitants of the deep, like at
Naples and at Hamburg, at London
and nearly all the capitals of Europe.
Mr.. William X Vanderbilt also has
presented curious fish to the Battery
bears, very young and kept through the

are presented to the Gotham Zoo in
larger numbers than is desirable, since
the collection there is more for scien-

visitors. A request for large-size rub
Der plants as a habitation for some of
the recent snakes brought a regular
forest OF such gifts of a size which had
outgroWn the dimensions of the ordi-
nary home, and as the ZOO authorities
sent for the gifts, they likewise showed
their gratitude in relieving the owners
OF the membranes. White rats als1
enjoy a rubber plant, and the ZOO in
the Bronx has nearly 1000 of these.
