Abstract
ONE of the most satisfactory results of the reorganisation of the Zoological Society of London is the series of papers dealing with important aspects of animal life which are now issuing from the pens of the society's officials. Instead of being content to amass, as formerly, a mere collection of as many strange beasts as possible for the inspection of the idle and curious, the officials are now directing their attention to many important points concerning the life of animals which could not have been examined, except where such unrivalled opportunities exist for their prosecution. Thus the Gardens bid fair to become a centre for important studies, white the health of the animals improves as the results are brought to bear on their treatment and housing.
