A silver medal was obtained by the Society for its efforts in pheasant breeding. In 1898 the income was £12,847, and the expenditure was £9,897. Three lions, 2 tigers, 3 brown bears, 2 agutis, 1 dwarf zebra, 1 Angora goat, 1 wapiti, and other animals were born in the Gardens. In 1899 the income was £13,238, and the expenditure was £10,798. The Garden then contained 575 animals of 160 species; 827 birds of 249 species; 55 reptiles of 16 species; and 44 fish of 2 species. The following were born in the Garden: 2 female lions, 1 kangaroo, 4 cattle, 1 antelope, 2 wapiti, 1 axis, 1 sika deer, besides numerous other animals and birds. A great number of dogs of various breeds were born: 78 animals (worth £152), 295 birds (worth £104), and 151 reptiles (worth £5), were lost during the year. In 1900 the income was £12,175, and the expenditure was £10,981. In 1901 the income was £13,339, and the expenditure was £12,299. In the Garden there were 440 animals of 139 species; 981 birds of 264 species; 98 reptiles of 19 species; 26 fish of 2 species. The following were born in the Garden: 2 lions, 1 panther, 1 zebra, 1 yak, 4 zebus, 3 asses, 1 llama, 1 guanaco, 2 red deer, 2 sika deer, 2 wapiti, 1 cross between an axis and a reindeer, 1 giant kangaroo, 6 goats. The following died soon after birth: 1 tiger, 3 pumas, 2 brown bears, and others. An enormous number of animals and birds were presented during the year. The total worth of animals in the Garden in 1901 was £3,637. [Illustration: OSTRICH SHED, KÖNIGSBERG.] This is a large rambling Garden, part of which is prettily situated in a wood with a deep valley in it, at the bottom of which runs a brook. It is difficult to find, being right outside the town. On entering and keeping to the left, a bird-of-prey aviary is the first enclosure met with. After this one finds a number of wapiti and other deer, and then one comes to a large, flat, open space, upon which stand several large buildings. There are bear dens and beer dens, the latter predominating. There is an enormous concert-house, built in 1896, several aviaries, a monkey house, with outside cages, fitted with swings and rocking-horses, containing, besides the apes, some fine lemurs and a gigantic ant bear. There are kangaroo and ostrich sheds, yaks, zebus, and American bison enclosures, and an amusing rabbit-hutch. Close by a racecourse is a huge white tower, from the top of which a view of the whole course can be obtained. In the lion house were a pair of very white lynxes from East Turkestan, which I do not remember having seen in captivity before. There was a black leopard with young ones (a decided novelty), and a puma with young, all born in the Garden. At this point a man with a villainous-looking countenance appeared, wrested my camera from me, and locked it up in the lion house.
