[174] Zoological Gardens. The Garden again sustained a heavy loss in the death from verminous colic and enteritis of the female Indian rhinoceros of which the mate died in the previous year from arsenical poisoning. But for the generous gift of a very fine young male rhinoceros by Her Excellency the Countess of Willingdon the Garden would have remained without a specimen of this important animal. Substantial alterations were made in the rhinoceros enclosure with a view to improving the conditions under which the animal is kept.
