The following pages contain extracts from SAUNDERS’
News-Letrer, THE Dupiin Eventnc Post (papers
formerly published in Dublin) and THe FREEMAN’S
JOURNAL. These, together with the available Annual
Reports of the Society, cover the period from 1840 to
1860.

The Minutes of the Society for this period have
unfortunately been lost, and it is due to my predecessor,
Professor D. J. Cunningham, now Professor of Anatomy
in the University of Edinburgh, that we are enabled to
lay these interesting records before our Members, and
place the Society in the position of having continuous
reports of its proceedings since its foundation in 1830.

We are particularly indebted to another friend, the
late Caesar Litton Falkiner (whose recent sad loss we
deeply deplore). He transcribed most of the extracts

contained in these pages for Professor Cunningham.

ROYAL ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF IRELAND.

Tue Annual Meeting of the above Society took place at
the rooms of the Dublin Natural History Society,
Clarendon’s Buildings, Brunswick Street, yesterday.

Amongst the persons present we observed His Grace
the Archbishop of Dublin, Sir Philip Crampton, Barrt.,
J. Corrigan, m.p., E. C. Croker, m.p., Leland Crosthwaite,
J.C. Ferguson, m.p., Robert Guinness, Surgeon Hargrave,
Professor Harrison, G. Hatchell, m.p., P. Hunt, M.p.,
R. S. Ireland, m.p., H. Irvine, m.p., A. Jacob, M.D.,
E. Kennedy, m.p., Acheson Lyle, E. Murphy, m.p., John
N. Owen, m.p., Surgeon Palmer, Robert Reid, M.p.,
Surgeon Stewart, Surgeon Wilmot, Surgeon Wilde, &c.

The chair was taken at half past two o’clock by the
President, His Grace the Archbishop of Dublin.

R. Ball, Esq., one of the Secretaries read the annual
report, which is as follows :—

REPORT, 1840.

Your Council, in accordance with annual custom, come
before you to make their report. On entering their year
of office they found themselves considerably in debt, their
Treasurer being in advance £186 and other demands out-
standing against them ; yet cheered by the hope of public
opinion being in their favour, they looked forward to
surmounting their difficulties, but the extreme wetness of
the season rendered their efforts abortive, and in July they
found that their receipts did not meet their expenditure ;
consequently debt was accumulating, and no hope appeared
of providing for the winter. After much serious considera-
tion at many meetings on the subject, and mindful of the
late President’s published statement, that the Council
should rather close the Gardens than again plunge the
Society into debt, but unwilling to resort to such an
extremity they boldly determined to effect such reduction
as in their opinion would not materially injure the
Society, while it would save it from the utter failure which

2 Royal Zoological Society of Ireland

threatened it. Reduction of expense was therefore
absolutely necessary and it was determined to effect it in
three ways :—Ilst, reduction of salary and allowances to
Superintendent ; 2nd, employment of a smaller number
of men in the Gardens, and 3rd, economical change of
food of animals.

“Tn effecting the first of these changes the Council felt
relieved of much difficulty by the fact that the Superinten-
dent’s active personal connection with another place of
public attraction appeared to them to be incompatible with
the situation of a servant of the Society. They accordingly
removed him and appointed Mr. Underwood in room at a
reduction of more than one half in salary and allowances.

“ Secondly, they reduced the number of men employed,
and so regulated the wages as to effect a considerable
saving.

“Thirdly, they adopted the use of horse flesh, instead
of beef, for the Carnivora, and with some other alteration
of diet, and the reduction before mentioned, diminished
the entire expenditure to less than half. Prior to making
use of horse flesh, instead of beef, many inquiries were
made as to the safety of the proceedings, and much doubt
having been expressed, it was considered tunadvisable to
risk in the experiment animals so valuable as the Lioness
and Tigress; besides that, the original object of the
Society, was mainly the keeping of animals of a more
important character as detailed in the circular issued at
the time. Under all the circumstances the Council felt
not only justified but called on to sell these animals to
reduce expenses and to carry out their experiment with
prudence, yet in accordance with the real object of the
Society. The result seems to have justified all their
anticipations, as is proved by the fact that the receipts at
the door for six months since, though the weather was
for much of the time particularly unfavourable, have
exceeded the receipts of a similar period in the preceding
year by about £10.

“The Council have not lost sight of the subject of
enclosing the pond, and other arrangements calculated to
give a highly useful popular character to the Society, but
their negotiations have not yet led to anything sufficiently
definite to enable them to lay them before you. However,
in accordance with the fundamental object of the Society,
and the spread of zoological knowledge, they determined

Report, 71840. 3

on opening the Gardens during the evenings of summer,
after working hours, at one penny each individual; the
effect of this extension can only be proved by experience.

“The Council refer with much gratification to the
success of the free course of lectures which have been
delivered at their instance at the evening meetings in the
Theatre of the Royal Dublin Society, kindly lent for the
purpose. They have, no doubt, contributed much to
spread a taste for zoology, and with a view of following
out the objects of these meetings, the Council have effected
preliminary arrangements for giving a morning course
of lectures in the Gardens of an elementary and
instructive character; these lectures are to be open to
members and subscribers, with two companions each.
The hour chosen is to meet the convenience of persons
who are confined by business after breakfast, and it will
afford to such individuals healthful exercise and useful
recreation. The Council, with a view of having occasional
lectures in the open air on féte days, have caused an
amphitheatre on a very simple plan, but capable of
accommodating about 500 persons, to be constructed.
They have commenced a series of experimental fish ponds,
from which, when fully carried out, they hope much
benefit will arise. The ponds already constructed have
been amply stocked with carp, tench, rudd, and minnows,
from the fine lake at Abbeyville, which Mr. Bachelor
kindly permitted to be fished for the purpose.

“The Council in reference to the mortality of animals
in the Gardens, while they have to acknowledge its extent
in numbers, have to state that the loss of property it
has occasioned to the Society has, perhaps, been less than
usual, and is much less than the ordinary losses suffered
by other similar institutions. The very unexpected death
of five small animals, which to all appearance were a few
hours before in rude health, gave rise to serious inquiry
on the part of the Council, but the cause of death was
not discovered. The most important loss the Society
sustained was that of a pair of leopards, which unex-
pectedly sickened and died. As the disease they laboured
under presented the general appearance of that called
distemper in dogs the other animals were removed from
the Repository, which was, and is, shut up for the
purpose of whitewashing, &c.,in the hope of destroying
any infectious matter that may exist. The Council, in

4 Royal Zoological Society of Ireland

conclusion, would call your attention to the Treasurer’s
account, which shows that notwithstanding the difficulties
they had to contend with the Society is now, in a pecuniary
point of view, in a much better state than it was twelve
months since. With increased numbers and much
diminished debt and expenditure they feel justified in
what they have done, and confidence in submitting this
their Report; and in doing so urge on you most strongly
your co-operation with the next Council by paying in at
once your subscriptions, of which about three hundred
pounds still remains due, a sum not only sufficient to
discharge the current debts of the Society but to purchase
many new animals.

“Since the commencement of this year sixty-five
individuals, as life members, ordinary members, and
garden subscribers, have been enrolled in the books of
the Society.

“Twenty-nine thousand, one hundred and sixty-two
people visited the Gardens last year. There are, in the
collection, seventy-two quadrupeds and one hundred and
eleven birds.”

Having concluded reading the report, Mr. Ball moved
that it be adopted, printed, and circulated.

Acheson Lyle, Esq., Second Remembrancer, seconded
the motion, and the report was unanimously adopted.

Mr. Ball next read the statement of the accounts for
the past year, from which it appears the debts due by the
Society are less this year than they were at the close of
the preceding year, and that the debts due to the Society
exceed in amount those remaining unpaid at the
termination of the antecedent year.

ROYAL ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY.

Tue Annual Meeting of the Royal Zoological Society of
Ireland was held at the rooms of the Geological Society
yesterday, Acheson Lyle, Esq., v.p., in the Chair.

The following Report was read and adopted :—

REPORT

of the Council of the Royal Zoological Society of Ireland
for the year ending Ist May.

Your Council, in compliance with annual custom, pre-
sent to you the following Report:—It is with much
satisfaction they have to notice the success of the measure
of opening the Gardens at hours suitable to the working
classes, at one penny admission, since the Ist of May
last. This gratification does not arise so much from the
effect on the funds of the Society as from a feeling that
the admission of not less than 100.000 persons this year
is a carrying out of the great principle of the Society, the
spread of useful information; and they consider this
manner of doing it particularly desirable at the present
time, as it supplies a powerful aid to the confirming of
the people in their improved habits, and is in accordance
with the views of those enlightened men who urge the
necessity of providing the people with places of rational.
recreation. The Council have further pleasure in stating
that although on many occasions upwards of 3,000 persons
have been in the Gardens at a time, no injury has
resulted to the grounds or animals. Your Council, with
a view to the promotion of geological science, have ata
small expense converted a portion of the Superintendent’s
house into a very commodious lecture room, in which
they had hoped last year to have had useful and attractive
morning lectures; but circumstances occurred to delay
this until it was too late in the season. They hope,
however, that they have taken such measures as will
enable the Council about to be appointed to open a course
immediately, and to commence with a systematic set of

8 Royal Zoological Society of Ireland

lectures by one of the most distinguished Professors of the
age; arrangements, however, are not sufficiently definite
for promulgation. His Grace the Archbishop of Dublin
having made a donation of £20 towards the construction
of fish ponds, application was made to His Excellency the
Lord Lieutenant, by whose permission water was brought
from the Vice-Regal Demesne into the upper part of the
Garden, where a small pond was formed ; from this a pipe
is carried supplying a jet which affords water to two other
small ponds (not yet completed) and to the Black Swan
Paddock, a desideratum in summer, when the ordinary
flow of water fails. The pipe brought into the Garden
will afford means, should the Society desire it, of
raising water to any height by the agency of a hydraulic
ram. A rabbit warren has been formed; it is an
interesting object, and has afforded considerable
satisfaction. Much improvement has been effected in
the Gardens by the judicious thinning of the trees, under
the immediate personal direction of His Excellency the
Lord Lieutenant, while at the same time a good deal of
attention has been paid to the shrubs, etc., so as to add
greatly to the beauty of the grounds. A seal pond has
been constructed, and has answered the expectations of
the Council in preserving in perfect health a fine seal,
presented by Mr. Cooper, of Markree, in October last; to
the want of a structure of this kind is probably to be
attributed the difficulty hitherto experienced of keeping
seals for any length of time in confinement. Your Council,
in compliance with the expressed wishes of several
members of the Society, restricted the number of lectures
to one at each evening meeting, and it afforded them
much pleasure to find that no diminution of interest
followed—the theatre, for which the Society is again
indebted to the kindness of the Royal Dublin Society,
being crowded each night of the meeting. Your Council
have great pleasure in calling your attention to the
accounts of the treasurer, for though it shows a trifling
addition to the balance against the Society, it also shows
that during the past year there was a considerable
increase in the expenditure, in purchase of animals and
in permanent improvements, which have placed the
Gardens in such a state as not necessarily to call for as
great an expenditure this year, while its attractions are
so much increased as to give reasonable grounds for
expecting a large increase of income. Amongst the many

Report, 7841. 9

animals purchased the most conspicuous are a pair of
Buffalos; this addition is in accordance with the great
objects of the Society—the introduction of useful
animals. In noticing it the Council are to express thanks
to the City of Dublin Steam Packet Co., by whose orders
the Buffalos were brought from London to Dublin free
of cost to the Society. Your Council cannot conclude
without expressing great satisfaction at the care and
attention shown by Mr. Scott, the Superintendent of the
Gardens.

ROYAL ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF IRELAND.

THe Annual Meeting was held in the Board Room of
the Royal Dublin Society House, at two o’clock, 3rd
May, 1842, the President, Sir Philip Crampton, Bart., in
the chair.

Mr. Ball, Secretary, read the following Report and
Abstract of Accounts :—

“The Council of the Royal Zoological Society have
to report to its members on their management of its
affairs during the past year, the twelfth of its existence.
In doing so, while they cannot but complain of the
inadequacy of public aid, and the difficulty of collecting
subscriptions for the extension of the Society’s collection,
they feel ita matter of high gratification that the great
object of the Institution (the spread of Zoological in-
formation) has been of wider extent than in any previous
year; for they conceive that the true test of the Society’s
usefulness is to be found in the number of the visitors to
its collection and attendants at its scientific meetings,
and in these two points it will be seen by tables accom-
panying this report, that the Society has been successful.
Though the majority of visitors to the Gardens were
admitted at the low rate of one penny, yet the Council
believe that this, so far from lessening the value and
importance of the Society, shows it forth in a higher
position than hitherto, as a valuable aid to the enlighten-
ment of the people, and a powerful contributor to the
maintenance of the improved and temperate habits now
so happily prevalent. The Council would dwell on the
value of their collection and Gardens, both in educational
points, ard as affording useful and healthful amusement,
but they feel that the principle they would urge, is
acknowledged by all enlightened persons, and is each
session receiving the increased attention of Parliament.

The Council have great pleasure in stating, that the
admission of the working classes at a cheap rate has been
duly appreciated, that their interest in the collection seems
daily to increase, that their conduct in the Gardens is,

14 Royal Zoological Society of Ireland

almost without exception, marked by the strictest de-
corum, and that their desire of enjoying the instructive
recreation the collection affords, proceeds from its in-
herent value, as no adventitious means, by music or
otherwise, were used during the past year for drawing
persons thither. The Council have next to observe, that
the Evening Meetings of the Society have continued to
prove attractive, and have been attended by a larger
auditory than could be conveniently accommodated in
the Theatre of the Royal Dublin Society. At these
meetings lectures have been given by Sir P. Crampton,
Bart., Dr. Houston, Professor Kane, Mr. Ball, Dr.
Beatty, Professor Hart, Professor Harrison, and Dr.
Corrigan. Arrangements have been made for following
up the instruction thus given, by more regular courses at
the Gardens, the first of which has been kindly under-
taken by Dr. Woodroffe, a gentleman whose ability in
making the important study of Physiology popular, has
long been known and highly valued in Cork. The Council,
with the object of furnishing to those whose professional
or other avocations employ them during the afternoon
an opportunity of acquiring useful and pleasing infor-
mation, and at the same time with a desire not to
nterfere with the hours occupied by other scientific
lectures, have fixed on the early hour of nine o’clock a.m.
for those at the gardens; and they trust that the course
about to commence on™ 5th May, will open a source of
much instruction, and prove equally healthful to body
and mind. The Council have further to report, in refer-
ence to matters of an educational nature, that some of
their members having formed a fund for the purpose of
offering premiums to persons making drawings from
nature, it was determined to offer this fund to be com-
peted for by pupils in the schools of the Royal Dublin
Society ; and a communication to that effect having been
made, the Council were requested, as a_ preliminary
measure, to grant admission to the Gardens, and oppor-
tunities of study to such of the pupils as may desire to
draw from living animals. This the Council at once
acceded to, and tickets have been issued to eleven of
the pupils recommended by the Committee of Fine Arts
of the Royal Dublin Society, and to three of the masters
in its schools, while the original proposition still remains

Since fhe Report was rez a some of these Lectures have been given, and have proved
very attractive. The Course will be proceeded with on Tuesdays and Thursdays,

Report, 1842. 15

under consideration of the Committee alluded to. The
Council hope that this measure will give a direction to
drawing and modelling from nature, which will be equally
valuable to the Fine Arts and to natural science. The
Council have to report:the death of the Elephant, which
was long anticipated, and which, from the state of the
animal, was scarcely to be regretted. They, however,
did not fail to turn the event to advantage, and a series
of interesting public demonstrations of the Elephant’s
anatomy were given by Professor Hart and Mr. Carlisle.
The skeleton, which it had been stipulated should be
returned at the death of the animal to the Zoological
Society of London, was by that body generously placed
at the disposal of the Council, who had much pleasure
in thus being enabled to present it to the Royal Dublin
Society, in compliance with a request to that effect, and
it is hoped that this skeleton will prove a handsome
addition to their National Museum. The important
losses to the Society during the past year were the
Female Buffalo and the Zebra, which were both aged.
The acquisition of animals has, for the reasons before
stated, been on a limited scale; but yet very interesting
specimens have been added by purchase and donation,
and some satisfactory exchanges have been effected
with the Bristol Zoological Society. On the whole,
the Council, though they cannot consider the collection
as extensive as it ought to be, and might have been, if
they had been adequately supported, consider that it is
one of much interest, and contains a number of highly
instructive and beautiful specimens in fine health. The
Council have the gratification of stating that the grounds
and plantations of the Garden are in higher order than
they have ever been before, that many minor improve-
ments have been made during the last year, and abundant
supply of water has been obtained for the Swan Pad-
docks. Much improvement has been, and is in progress
of being, effected in the paths leading from the Park
gates to the Garden, which will contribute to make the
walk to them as easy as it is interesting; and in con-
cluding, the Council beg to propose that the thanks of
the Society at large be given to the Royal Dublin Society

It will be seen from the foregoing account that the
Society’s income for the year has exceeded its expenditure
by the sum of £36 5s. ; to this it may be added, that a sum
of £89 has been paid for printing, nearly half of which
was due the preceding year; that by arrangements made
much reduction of ordinary expenditure has been, and is
in progress of being, effected in the management, &c., of
the Gardens, and that the outstanding claims are very
trifling. From these circumstances the Council feel
justified in congratulating the Society, if not on a bright
prospect, at least on one indicating improved stability.

It was moved by Dr. Hart, seconded by Mr. Callwell,
and passed unanimously, that the report and abstract
of accounts read by the Secretary, should be received
and adopted.

Thanks to the retiring members of the Council passed.
Thanks to Donors passed.

Messrs. Callwell and Whitla were appointed auditors
of accounts for the year.

[The Dublin Evening Post, May 4, 1843.]

ROYAL ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF IRELAND.

THE stated annual meeting of the Royal Zoological
Society was held on Tuesday in the Lecture Room in the
Society's Gardens, Phoenix Park, S. Boileau, Esq.,
presiding.

Robert Ball, Secretary, read the report which
upon the motion of Prof. Harrison, seconded by Mr.
Martyn (barrister), was adopted and entered upon the
minutes.

The report states that the Council have by the most
rigid economy, been able to reduce the debt which was
due by the Society when they entered upon their duties;
and though they may complain, with some show of justice,
of the inadequacy of public support received for some of
the great objects of the Society, they trust that the fact
that its annual income has been found more than sufficient
to meet its expenditure for the last two years will convince
those who doubted of its stability, while the details will
satisfy all of its increasing utility, and justify if not
demand continued and increased support. It appears by
the Treasurer’s account that the income of the Society
has been £999 14s. 5d., while its expenditure has been
only £942 12s., showing a surplus on the year of £57 2s. 5d.
Yet while this saving has been made, considerable im-
provements have been effected in the Gardens, as must
be obvious to all who inspected them, and, at the same
time, the collection has been increased; for it appears by
a comparative statement, that the Society has gained in
value of animals, by donations, purchases and births in
the Garden £305, while it has lost by deaths £107 only—
leaving in favour of the Society an increased value of the
collection equal to £198. In the above estimate some
animals are included which, agreeable to the terms of
purchase, have not yet been paid for. Deducting their
price, £81, there will still remain an increase of value
equal to £117. With respect to the progress of the
Society in the cultivation of Science the Council state

22 Royal Zoological Society of Ireland

that immediately after the last annual meeting a highly
interesting course of Lectures, extending to nineteen, was
commenced at the Gardens, by Dr. Woodroffe, and though
given at an hour found in practice to be inconvenient, a
class averaging over seventy attended. Dr. Woodroffe
has most kindly undertaken to give a second course, which
is now in progress, on Mondays and Thursdays, at half-
past three o’clock. The admissions for the period included
in the account have been

Dr. Woodroffe moved that the thanks of the meeting
be presented to the retiring officers of the Council.

Acheson Lyle, Esq., seconded the motion, which was
carried.

The meeting adjourned until four o'clock awaiting the
result of the ballot for President, Vice-President, Secre-
taries and Council. Ona scrutiny it was found that the
following gentlemen were elected :—

President—His Grace the Archbishop of Dublin.

Report, 1843. 23

The Gardens were visited on Tuesday by a very
numerous company, including His Excellency the Lord
Lieutenant, the Countess de Grey, Sir Henry Marsh, Bart.,
Sir W. Don, Bart., Lord Charleville, the Commander of
the Forces, &c. The day was delightfully fine, and the
promenade presented a very brilliant appearance. The
bands of the 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards and the
6lst Regiment of Infantry were in attendance and per-
formed a variety of popular pieces during the day. His
Excellency, who was attended by several members of the
household, spent nearly an hour in the Gardens and
returned at five o’clock.

[Saunders’ News-Letter, Wednesday, May 8, 1844).
ROYAL ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF IRELAND.

THE annual meeting of the above Society was held
yesterday in their rooms in the Zoological Gardens,
Phoenix Park.

Dr. Hart in the chair.

Mr. Ball, the Secretary, read the following Report
and Statement of Accounts :—

“At the close of this the fourteenth year of the
existence of the Royal Zoological Society of Ireland, its
Council have the great satisfaction of stating that now
for the third year in succession it has lived within its
annual income. It is true the saving is but small, but,
coupled with the improved state of the Gardens and
collection, there is every reason to congratulate the
Society on the steady progress made for the last few
years.

“A course of lectures was given in the Gardens by Dr.
Woodroffe, and several lectures were given by members
of the Council inthe Theatre of the Royal Dublin Society.
These lectures have, as usual, attracted large audiences,
and have carried out the objects of the Society.

“Your Council took much pains to encourage drawing
from living animals in your collection. They issued a
considerable number of tickets of free admission to
students, but this privilege was not extensively availed of
as may have been expected, and no drawing was produced
of sufficient merit to call for a prize. At a later period
of the year, however, special premiums were offered for
drawings of the Society’s Sloth and Tiger Cat, and
the offer called forth some very creditable efforts, and the
premiums were awarded to Mr. W. Dowling and Mr. R. J.
Kelly for characteristic chalk drawings of the animals
referred to. The fund for these premiums, as well as
for the purchase of the Society’s great acquisition, the
Sloth, were provided by an English gentleman who
forbad the mention of his name.

“In return for the many kindnesses of the Zoological
Society of London, your Council agreed to lend the Sloth

26 Royal Zoological Society of Ireland

to that Society for a period of six weeks. An experienced
keeper is about being sent from London to take charge
of it, and learn the mode in which it has been treated here.

“As an additional inducement to persons to join the
Society, and as a favour to those already members, your
Council modified the practice of admission on féte days,
and instead of suspending privileges of members on those
days and causing them to pay like non-subscribers, as
had been the custom, they caused two transferable tickets
to be issued to each member, thus giving him equivalent
for five shillings instead of charging him two shillings and
sixpence as heretofore.

“The weekly proceedings of the Society having been
regularly put before the public through the newspapers,
your Council do not consider it necessary to enter into a
repetition of the facts therein stated; but trust that an
inspection of the Treasurer’s account, and of the details
which accompanies it, will prove most satisfactory.

“There has been an increase of 25,964 visitors at the
Gardens this year as compared with last, making a total
of 111,729 for the period included in per annexed account;
to which if we add the number of visitors, since Thursday,
when the books closed, we shall have the very extra-
ordinary number of persons who have since the last
annual meeting availed themselves of the improvement
and recreation the Gardens afford. This increase in the
number of visitors is accompanied with their constantly
improving conduct. When the Garden is crowded with
three thousand persons at one penny each, as it some-
times is, the greatest decorum prevails, and it need only
be witnessed to prove the value of the Society, in an
educational view.”

On contrasting the value of the stock of the Society
with its state last year, it appears to have increased about
£91 during the year.

The amount of accounts due for animals, printing, &c.,

is about the same as it was at this time last year; it is
within £100.

Votes of thanks were also passed to the Donors and the

[Saunders’ News-Letter, Wednesday, May 7, 1845).

ROYAL ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF IRELAND.

At a Meeting of this Society held on yesterday, the 6th
May, William Vallancy Drury, Esq., in the chair. The
following Report was read :

FIFTEENTH YEAR’S REPORT OF THE ROYAL
ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY.

“Your Council have great gratification in referring
you ‘o the Treasurer’s account, which now, for the fourth
year in succession, shows a steadiness of progress
highly encouraging.

“The collection has much increased in value, the
Gardens have been improved, and the great and most
valuable feature of the Society, i.e., its affording a means
of rational and healthful educational recreation to the
people has been well carried out, as will appear by the
tables appended to this Report.

“Your Council wish that it should not be forgotten
that the Society (feebly aided as it is) has for some years
contributed annually to the useful gratification of about
100,000 persons at a nominal rate, thus giving practical
effect to the principles which have recently opened
Hampton Court and other places to the people, and led
to the especial formation of Parks, &c. Your Council
have further aided the progress of education by con-
tinuing to give free admission to students desirous of
drawing or modelling from the animals in the Gardens,
and have had most pleasing proofs of the utility of this
permission. They have also endeavoured to promote
the spirit of intellectual inquiry, which a collection of

30 Royal Zoological Society of Ireland

living animals is so well calculated to bring forth, by
giving free entrance to the pupils of all charity schools
who sought to obtain it ; while by the lectures delivered
by eminent persons at the evening meetings of the
Society the very highest applications of Zoology have
been promoted.

“The most remarkable addition to the collection
during the year has been the Giraffe “ Albert,” presented
to the Society under the following circumstances: One
of your Secretaries (Mr. Ball) being in London in May
last, represented to influential members of the Zoological
Society there how greatly a grant of a giraffe would be
valued in Ireland, not only by your Society, but by the
public at large in Dublin, and he stated how much beyond
the means of the Society the purchase of so costly an
animal was. The Council of the London Society met,
and in the most prompt, handsome, and unanimous
manner, made a free gift of the very beautiful Giraffe
now in your possession.

“They selected this animal with the kindest considera-
tion, as the most portable and hardiest of their stock,
although from its being the first ever reared in Europe,
being so far acclimated, and a personal favourite and pet
of very many of the Society, he was the most valued, and
probably most valuable Giraffe in London.

“Your Council could return no equivalent for this
princely donation, but with the marked thanks on the part
of your Society they had the gratification of being able to
add two animals to the collection in the Regent’s Park,
not before seen alive in London—a two-toed Sloth
(Choleepus unau), and a new species of tiger-cat, which
Mr. Ball has named Felis melanura.

“The extremely rapid growth of the Giraffe (about
30 inches within the year), and the probability of his
growing 5 or 6 feet more, make it imperatively necessary
to build a house suited for him. The temporary one
which he at present occupies being only 14 feet high, his
horns suffer from striking against the ceiling. The
Council therefore, desiring to provide, as becomes the
Society, for so munificent a donation, and at the same
time knowing that their funds would not without aid
enable them to do so, applied to the members at large
for contributions, intending to build not only a house
suited to the wants of the Giraffe, but one which would

Report, 1845. 31

accommodate the elephant and camel, both fine animals
imperfectly lodged, and whose present houses are much
wanted for other animals. With this view your Council
obtained a most admirable design for a building from
G. Wilkinson, Esq., combining with all the desired requi-
sites, the advantage of a look-out tower, which placed in
the intended position, would command a magnificent view,
and be highly ornamental itself to the scenery. The
appeal of the Council has been tolerably responded to,
but it has been ascertained that the cost of the intended
structure would be considerably more than it was at first
calculated on. Your Council have, therefore, in the most
earnest manner to urge renewed exertion, and to re-
iterate the strong claim to liberality arising from the
necessity of providing for the due protection of the
Giraffe, which they could not have purchased for £700,
and which was sought, accepted and received, with a full
assurance on the behalf of the Society that the gift
should be duly valued and taken all possible care of.

“In concluding their report, your Council have to
deplore the loss of the venerable Dr. Stokes. To his
zealous exertion the origin of the Society is mainly to be
ascribed; and though from advancing years and other
causes he had some time ceased to take an active part in
your proceedings, yet many of his early speculations have
been, and are being, realised. He seemed always to have
lived in advance of his time, and thus may have appeared
visionary when he urged measures which have subse-
quently been carried out. The Society owed him much,
and cherish and respect his memory.

ROYAL ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY.

ss

THE Sixteenth Annual Meeting of this Society was
yesterday held in the Boardroom of the Royal Dublin
Society at two o’clock to read and adopt the annual
Report and ballot for anew Council.

Sir Philip Crampton, Bart., President, in the chair.
Mr. Ball, Secretary, read the following report :—

SIXTEENTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ROYAL ZOOLOGICAL
SOCIETY OF IRELAND.

“Your Council in laying before you a Report of their
proceedings for the last year regret they cannot boast, as
their predecessors have been able to do for the last four
anniversaries, that their expenditure has been less than
their receipts ; the excess, however (£89 14s. 8d.) is of no
great importance, and the less so as the acquired property
of the Society during the period has been considerable.
The Council, though they have not been able to command
great success, feel conscious that they have deserved it,
and they confidently assert that this is the result of having
followed out the principles which have guided the Councils
for the last few years, in giving all possible freedom of
access to the Gardens, as a source of instructive and
rational recreation to as many of their fellow-citizens
as a regard to the funds absolutely necessary for the
maintenance of the Institution would permit.

“Your Council have always kept in view that the
Society was founded, and should be carried on, not for
the benefit of members, but for the general advancement
of natural knowledge. and they feel persuaded that it
must be manifest that the objects of the founders, and of
those who have most laboured in the service of the
Society, have been without any personal motive beyond
the great reward of doing good to their fellows.

“ During the past year a very ornamental house has
been erected for the Giraffe, smaller in size than the

38 Royal Zoological Society of Ireland

Council could have wished, but thus limited in extent by
the funds placed at their disposal, which still are in-
sufficient to cover the expense. This house will, however,
they have no doubt, prove a most serviceable and effective
structure for its purpose, besides being of ornament to
the Gardens, and of interest from commanding a most
extensive prospect.

The sum expended for the Giraffe house
is already om ae 3 OME 16
The amount of actual subscriptions paid 313 7 6

“A considerable sum will still be required for the
permanent enclosure.

“The Garden continues to be improved and the
collection to be tolerably well maintained, though there
has been an unusual mortality in the smaller animals, the
cause of which has not been accurately ascertained.
Glandular disease seemed generally present in the throat,
accompanied by excessive fatness, thus demonstrating
that the complaint was not the effect of insufficient food.
The Giraffe and other ruminants continue to enjoy the
highest health. The losses of the Society this year by
death may be estimated to exceed the acquisitions by
about £45 in value.

“An alteration in the supply of water to the pond in
the Vice-Regal Demesne induced the authorities to cut
off the pipe which supplied the Swan paddock and small
ponds with water. This has rendered them stagnant, and
injured for the present that part of the Garden ; however,
it is hoped a method can be devised for restoring a supply
of water, or that by raising the head of the large pond the
object of keeping the paddock full may be attained. This
latter measure would be a considerable improvement both
to the Park and Gardens and in keeping with the works
already accomplished in that quarter by the Commissioners
of Woods and Forests.

“Your Council are happy to be able to say that the
route to the Gardens has been greatly improved; the
road at each side of the river being now open to the
King’s Bridge and the space opposite the Royal Barracks
handsomely railed in; while within the Park the path on
the right from the gate to the Gardens has been made
one of much interest by the landscape gardening improve-
ments of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests.
These circumstances will doubtless contribute to make

Report, 1846. 39

the Gardens a still greater place of resort to pedestrians
than they have yet been.

“The Council, desirous of promoting a taste for
Zoology among Naval and Military Officers, who have
ample opportunities for its cultivation, had pleasure in
offering free admission to the Officers of the Staff and
Garrison to the promenades of last year.

“The evening meetings of the Society have been well
attended by an average class of about 400 persons. This
large number proves the value of the lectures given and
must much conduce to the spread of natural science.

“With respect to the privileges which have been
conceded to the members and subscribers of the Society,
your Council would remark (as there seems to be some
misunderstanding on the subject) that they are now much
greater than was the original design of the Society when
a personal admission with two friends on ordinary days
was all that the law of the Society allowed, while all
privileges were suspended on the occasion of promenades
or lectures and members paid for admission like other
individuals, whatever the Council pleased to name,
usually 2s. 6d. for each promenade or lecture. For the
last few years members have received two tickets, trans-
ferable for each lecture and promenade, and the privilege
of admission to the Gardens on ordinary days may now
be exercised by the wives of members, and members are
permitted to bring in all their children under 12 years of
age, instead of two, as at first contemplated. The
Council, therefore, cannot but feel that the privileges thus
granted to members of the Society and subscribers, which
they know are greater than those conceded to the
members of other scientific Societies, will, upon considera-
tion, be thought sufficient.

“The only restrictions the Council have desired to
impose are those absolutely necessary for raising funds
for the support of the Institution ; a necessity sufficiently
obvious, however much to be regretted.

“The Council have to reiterate the claim of their
predecessors to public support for the Society, on the
ground of its aid to the students in drawing and sculpture,
who were freely admitted during the past year. Evidence
was given by many productions that this privilege was
properly taken advantage of, and your Council had much
pleasure in awarding a premium to Master Annesley

40 Royal Zoological Society of Ireland

Willet, one of the pupils of the Royal Dublin Society, for
a very successful model of the Giraffe.

“Of the exertions and difficulties of successive
Councils to uphold and advance the Society since its
formation, the public cannot form an adequate opinion.
They have been, however, so great, that your Council are
deeply anxious to see some means devised by which an
Institution beyond all question entitled to support as one
of popular instruction, and could be placed on a basis of
permanent security, and not left as much dependent as it
has been on the efforts of private individuals.

“ Among the intelligent portion of the community, the
conviction is rapidly growing that assistance to such
objects is within the legitimate duty of the National
Treasury. It would not, perhaps, be becoming in your
Council in their report to do more than simply to put
forward a claim to such support, to which they feel
assured the advancing intelligence will every day add
strength at a time, however, when the diffusion of
knowledge, and what is, perhaps, of more importance, the
taste and desire for knowledge among the people is
attracting a large share of attention of statesmen, they
feel that it may be permitted to them to suggest that such
an Institution as yours is of all others calculated to
attract the casual and thoughtless visitor to the inquiries
that lead to knowledge. Were the funds of your Society
such as to enable it to give upon one or two days in the
week the benefit of free admission to all, to make the
collection of animals more extensive, and, perhaps, to give
popular instruction as to their habits, history, &c., who
can calculate how many among those who never elevate
their thoughts above the debasing influences by which too
many of our population are surrounded, might acquire, in
a visit to your Zoological Gardens, the first taste for the
acquisition of knowledge which carried out would expand
their minds, elevate their thoughts, and improve their
habits. While your Council acknowledge and would urge
with any influence they may possess, the claims of
Botany to the support it receives at the hands of
Government, in the British Dominions they feel that
Zoology has its claims, and they confidently look forward
that the efforts of the Society, so peculiarly marked by
their educational tendency, will be properly estimated at
no distant period. ~

Report, 1846. 41

“The limits of a report prevent your Council from
dwelling at length on this important subject, but they
would quote the words of an eminent writer—‘ Where
the taste for Zoological inquiry is diffused, there isa high
standard of general sentiment and education; and that
when such pursuits are neglected, it is because the public
mind is not elevated to the standard at which the nature
and beauty of such i inquiries can be properly appreciated’ ;
and he adds, ‘There is no mode of amusement at once
so popular, attractive, instructive, and innocent, as is
supplied by a Zoological Garden.’

“Your Council annex to this report tables that will
supply an accurate view of the state of the Society during
the past year; that it is not one of triumphant success
they deeply regret to acknowledge. They have, how-
ever, creditably maintained the Society through the
year. They have added to its permanent property,
increased its attraction and promoted its stability ; they
leave to their successors the task and duty of carrying
out their principles and plans commenced. That, how-
ever, your Society is to continue to be supported, there
is public spirit and sufficient zeal for knowledge among
the educated classes of this metropolis to preserve to the
country an Institution which it would have been a disgrace
never to have originated, still more, being once established,
to permit to languish or to fall.”

|Report, 1847].

ROYAL ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF IRELAND.

Your Council, in presenting their Report for the past
year, regret that, owing to the peculiar circumstances of
the period, the consequent high price of provisions, and
difficulty of collecting subscriptions, there has been a
considerable increase of debt. Finding this accumulation,
and unwilling to draw further upon the liberality of a few
individuals to make good the default of many, your
Council addressed a circular (of which a copy, marked A,
is appended) to all who had been, at any time, members
of the Society. This address brought forth a strong
expression of feeling on the part of some individuals of
influence, but, for the most part, was unnoticed. Your
Council thus felt, on the one hand, that the zeal manifes-
ted called for their continued perseverance; while, on
the other, the general apathy of members was very
discouraging ; yet, still considering the great value of the
Institution to the public, the difficulties which have been
overcome during the past seventeen years, the great
probability, almost certainty, that institutions like yours,
having the instruction, recreation, and mental elevation
of the public at large for their object, will, nay, must,
sooner or later receive the support of Government, as
they already do in other countries; your Council have
gone on, and, by a considerable diminution of expenditure,
have secured to their successors a position which, with
moderate aid from you, will enable them to support the
Institution without increasing the debt; but, if at the end
of summer they should not be able to liquidate it, it will
be for them to consider whether they can enter upon the
expenses of another winter. Thus, the fate of the Society
rests with those who, by withholding subscriptions, tax,
beyond endurance, the liberality and good feeling of the
gentlemen appointed as the executive of the Society.
On these defaulters must rest the odium of its fall; and,
if such should prove inevitable, it will be most disgraceful
to them and to the country. The eminent Professor
E. Forbes, in his recent address to the Society, said :—“ It

46 Royal Zoological Society of Ireland

is only justice to bear testimony to the value of the
Zoological Society of Ireland, as a scientific and social
institution. Managed as it is,and diffusing knowledge as
it does, you can boast of having in this City the best
society of the kind in Europe—-the one of most service to
the public—and this, too, with comparatively small
resources; for similar bodies abroad derive ample
resources from the government of the countries to which
they belong, and the only institution of the kind in Eng-
land is in the very centre of European wealth.”

Your Council could dilate on this subject to any
length; but they feel that their predecessors have so
often and forcibly put the great utility of the Society
before the public, that it may now be sufficient to ask the
citizens of Dublin, and Irishmen at large, whether they
will suffer the naturally most beautiful and healthful, and,
it may be added, the most useful Zoological garden
existing, to fail, rather than contribute the small sum
required for its maintenance? To subscribers it may be
urged, that in the tickets for lectures and promenades
they receive more than an equivalent for subscriptions,
while, at the same time, education and recreation is pro-
vided at one penny each for the poorer classes. Lectures
are given to the members and their friends by the most
distinguished persons, instruction is afforded to artists,
and science and education generally cultivated. Who, on
seeing the evening meetings crowded by some 600, ap-
parently the elite of the land, could suppose that very
many of that number, occupying prominent places, and
on these and other occasions availing themselves of every
advantage the Society affords, do but too generally with-
hold subscriptions? Yet such is the fact; and it is one
which shows how difficult it is in this country to maintain
institutions which depend for support on the good faith of
public subscriptions.

The Council regret to be forced into these reflections,
but they feel much the want of support they should have
received; at the same time it affords them much gratifi-
cation to be able to bear testimony to the excellent
conduct of the people, 73,107 of whom were admitted to
the Garden during the year at one penny each. They
seemed greatly to appreciate the privilege, and have not
abused it.

Your Council, in reporting the events of the year, have

Report, 1847. 47

to mention the death of the late superintendent, Mr. Scott,
whose illness for some months delayed the reductions and
alterations, tending to lower the expenditure, which they
wished to effect, and have since carried out. On his
death they made no new appointment, but placed the
collector, Mr. Buckley, in charge; and discontinued the
carter and gate-keeper, replacing the latter by a man
fitted to act as clerk, take charge of the garden in
Mr. Buckley’s necessary absence, and serve as a watch-
man. The paid staff of the Society now consists of
Mr. Buckley, collector and acting superintendent ;
J. Lowe, clerk, gate-keeper and watchman; two keepers
and two gardeners, being only six individuals, at the
wages of £3 lls. a week; with this staff the garden can
be maintained usefully. and kept in its present excellent
order.

Your Council have to report the very unexpected
death of the Elephant; he had, for some months, thriven
remarkably, but was suddenly seized by inflammatory
disease, which carried him off in a few hours; from
careful investigation it would appear to have been one of
those accidents to which all animals are liable. With this
exception, the amount of mortality has been very small,
attributable to improved ventilation and a less than usual
dependence on artificial heat. The animals generally
have thriven remarkably. The Giraffe continues to grow
rapidly, and has now, for nearly a year, occupied his new
house (the Albert Tower), which proves to be very well
adapted for him; he is considered, by competent persons,
the finest animal of the kind in confinement at present,
and is probably now worth £800. Your Council ask: is
this noble donation to be returned to the donors, with an
intimation that Ireland does’ not subscribe, annually, one
half the amount of this one gift of theirs?

Your Council felt it incumbent on them to postpone
the usual promenade on the Ist of May, in consequence
of the lamented illness of His Excellency the Lord
Lieutenant, who, personally, has long taken much interest
in the Society.

The garden is now in better order than it has ever
been before; the growth of the shrubs, and extraordinary
quantity of blossom now upon them, give a promise of
exceeding beauty for the present month. By the kindness
of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, who have

48 Royal Zoological Society of Ireland

made their improvements subservient to the objects of
the Society, the upper end of the garden has been very
greatly embellished; an ample supply of water is now
obtained, and a pretty cascade formed. The Council, in
conclusion, urge earnestly on the members the advan-
tages of their frequently visiting the gardens; they
request them to influence their friends to do so too, and
they call generally upon the citizens of Dublin to inspect
the garden and say whether, by withholding their support,
they will permit so beautiful an ornament to the City, and
so useful an institution, to fall away.

Twenty-three members and twenty subscribers were
added to the Society last year.

‘CIRCULAR A.

“In submitting to members of the Royal Zoological Society the
accompanying statement and resolution, the Council do not feel it
necessary to reiterate the arguments already before the public, but
they think it necessary to draw serious attention to the present con-
dition of the Society, in the hope that the strong claim now put
forth will prevent the necessity, which must otherwise inevitably
arise, of breaking up an institution from which the citizens of
Dublin and others of all classes have derived so much useful instruc-
tion and healthful recreation. Though the Council have, on their
personal responsibility, met the demands upon them, yet they are
quite determined not to incur further liabilities; the future fate of
the Society must therefore depend on the result of this application
to the members. At this particular period it may be proper to state
that the use of articles of human food for the Society’s animals, has
been for some time discontinued, and that rough barley and horse-
flesh supply the place of bread, oats, and butchers’ meat. Large
reductions of expense have been and are being made, which will
enable the Society to go on effectively, provided the debt now
pressing be met by the payment of subscriptions due, &c. It may
be useful to add that during the four years ended May, 1845, the
expenses of the Society were considerably within its income, the
debt of last year, £86, resulted from the great cost of building the
* Albert Tower ’ for the Giraffe, &c. The other expenses of the year
were much less than the receipts.

‘“At a meeting of the Council of the Royal Zoological Society,
held on Saturday, February 27th, 1847, present, Sir P. Crampton,
President ; the Chief Remembrancer and R. Callwell, Esq., Vice-
Presidents; R. Ball, Esq., and H. Irvine, m.B., Secretaries ;
T. Hutton, Esq., Treasurer; Professor Allman, Frederick Burton,
Esq.; L. E. Foote, Esq.; W. V. Drury, M.D. ; M.J.O’Kelly, Esq. ;
Professor Oldham; J. Owen, Esq., and J. Woodroffe, M.D., members
of the Council, the following statement was made :—

‘*The liabilities of the Society are now about £350, a portion of
which is a debt incurred last year in the building of the Giraffe
house. The remainder has necessarily occurred from the heavy ex-
penses of the past winter. The payment of members’ subscriptions
would be sufficient to liquidate this debt, but in consequence of the
great difficulty of collecting them, it has been found necessary for
the support of the Society to raise a temporary loan on the personal
security of a few individuals. Repayment of this loan will soon be
demanded, and it therefore becomes necessary for the Council to
provide for it.

‘“It was resolved—That the subject be brought under the imme-
diate individual consideration of the members of the Society, and
that they be called upon to support the officers and council by a
prompt payment of the subscriptions due—that this claim be urged
on the grounds that the gentlemen who undertook the difficult task
of carrying on the Society did so in the full faith that subscriptions
of members would be punctually paid, and they therefore now claim
from the members’ sense of justice support to relieve them from
personal responsibility.

** PHILIP CRAMPTON, Chairman.

‘Life members may aid in the present emergency by donation or
by returning the names of friends as members; in this manner
members who have paid may aid. Those who have not paid will see
the necessity of doing so promptly. Members who have fallen off at
any time may have their names again placed on the roll by payment
of £1, the Council. having cancelled all claims to arrears of sub-
scriptions.

“‘Subscriptions may be paid to the treasurer, T. Hutton, Esq.,
114 Summer Hill; or to Mr. Porter, 72 Grafton Street ; and com-
munications may be addressed to the Secretaries, 3 Granby Row,
Dublin.”

GENERAL MEETING OF THE ROYAL
ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY.

A GENERAL Meeting of the Members of this Society was
held at the Gardens yesterday.

Richard Carmichael, Esq., in the chair.

The following Report was read and adopted :—

REPORE

of the Royal Zoological Society’s Council for the year
ended 2nd May, 1848.

“Your Council in presenting their Report for the past
year particularly desire to call your recollection to that
of their predecessors who, complaining of the feeble
support they had received and the consequent difficulties
they were involved in by those who induced them to
undertake the conducting of the Society, yet neglected to
pay their promised subscriptions, went on to recommend
a dissolution of the Society should this practice be per-
severed in, your Council regret to say that they have not
been well supported, and they have felt that they should
have been justified had they adopted the recommendation
they have referred to; but when they reflected on the
great value of your Society as an Educational Institution,
the aid its garden and collection affords to Zoological
Science and the Fine Arts, but particularly te the still
more important service to the country of its affording a
place for the rational and quiet-minded recreation of the
people, they determined (though it involved serious
personal responsibilities) to endeavour to save your
Society (pronounced by competent authority to be the
most useful of the kind existing). Your Council therefore
adopted a system of the most rigid economy, and at the
same time suspended purchases, while they paid the
strictest attention to the preservation of the Society in
such a state as would fit it for extension in its various
departments whenever a more liberal spirit on the part
of the richer classes, and a returned prosperity of the
country should supply increased funds. The result has
been that the danger which threatened has been averted,

52 Royal Zoological Society of Ireland

and your Council, with a smaller income than you have
ever had before, have so managed as to live within it,
and reduce your debt, as will be seen on reference to
the Treasurer’s accounts. From this your Council are
led to believe that if their plans be persevered in the debt
of the Society will be overcome, while they are also
induced to hope that a return of prosperity to the country
and what is to be looked for, great influx of visitors con-
sequent on the opening of the various railroads, will
insure a future income for the ordinary purposes of the
Society.

“Your Council have pleasure in reporting that your
animals continue to maintain the good health for which
your collection is remarkable. The losses sustained have
not been of importance, and your stock, though small, is
of considerable value, the Giraffe and other ruminants
are unsurpassed in any collection.

“The Garden under the superintendence of Mr.
Buckley, has been much improved; several new walks,
some judicious planting, and the growth of shrubs and
trees combined with the natural beauties of the situation,
render it a very distinguished ornament of the metropolis.

“The lectures which were opened by His Grace the
Archbishop of Dublin, were attended by an average class
of five hundred persons—the course was of necessity
suspended owing to the occupation of the premises of the
Royal Dublin Society by a military party.

“The number of members and subscribers who have
rejoined, or been enrolled, during the past year exceeds the
number of those who have resigned or been struck off for
being in arrear. The list so corrected for 1848 contains
116 life members, 266 annual members, and 62 subscribers,
making a total of 434. 96 subscriptions remain to be
collected.

ROYAL ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF IRELAND.

A MeetTInG of the Royal Zoological Society of Ireland
was held in the Gardens, Phoenix Park, yesterday.

Dr. A. Smith in the Chair.
The following Report was read and adopted :—

“ At the close of a year of unexampled depression it
should not dishearten the Royal Zoological Society to
learn that it has suffered in common with other Institu-
tions dependent on the voluntary support of the public;
yet it is not without a feeling approaching to exultation
that your Council come before you to report that not-
withstanding a great diminution in their income, they
have, by rigid economy, continued to maintain the Society
without increasing its liabilities, and they are enabled to
hand over their charge to their successors—

First, with your Gardens much improved,

Second, your collection of animals not lessened in
value, though somewhat diminished in number; and

Third, your debts not increased.

It seems necessary to offer explanation of these
scarcely to be expected results.

First, with respect to the Gardens. Your Council,
having no work of extent in progress during the year,
have been enabled to turn attention to minor details, and
have, by judicious planting, the formation of new walks,
etc., much improved your grounds. In this work they
have been aided by the energy and skill of Mr. Buckley,
the acting Superintendent, and they have been enabled
to increase the arboricultural interest attached to your
plantations by the addition of a number of trees and
shrubs, given by Mr. Toole in lieu of a life subscription
to the Society.

Second, as to the collection of animals, it is true its
number is not large, but then in it are to be found some
of the finest and most remarkable specimens, whether
considered as regards their scientific interest, marketable
value, or unexampled healthfulness. The magnificent

58 Royal Zoological Soctety of Ireland

Giraffe alone is not only the most valuable, but perhaps
the most interesting animal ever exhibited in Ireland.
During the past year the only important loss in the
collection was the Camel, which died of disease of the
lungs, but this loss has been more than counterbalanced
by the patriotic liberality of the Right Hon. R. More
O’Farrell, in whose donations already received are three
Ostriches and a Fezzan Sheep, which is said to be the
only specimen ever sent to the British Islands. Besides
these, a very fine Cassowary from New Guinea was
added to the collection by purchase. The value of
animals received by donation may be estimated at
£88 1s. 6d; purchased, £22 8s. 9d.; bred in Gardens,
£10. Against which may be set—lost by death, £68 7s ;
sold, £27 7s.; leaving a balance increase value of the
stock equal to £24 16s. 3d.

Third, when your Council inform you that your debt
has not been increased during the year, it is necessary
to state that they have paid sums amounting to
£109 17s. 1d., bills for smiths’ work, timber, animals,
advertisements, etc., which had lain over for two or
three years, this sum, being deducted from the apparently
increased balance, will demonstrate that the increase has
on the year more than met the expenditure. It should
likewise be recollected that the proceeds of the annual
promenade have not come within what might be expected
this year. Owing to the backward state of the spring it
was not deemed advisable to hold it until the Garden
was in a more forward state. Your Council strongly
urge on members by payment of their subscriptions to
relieve the gentlemen who have made themselves re-
sponsible for the balance which the amount on the whole
shows against the Society.

During the year 20 members and subscribers have
been added to your roll, while 18 have died or resigned.
However, there are 22 more in arrear, whose names
become this day removable in failure of payment.

Your Council beg to draw your attention to the returns
of admission to the Gardens during the past year, showing
a total of 64,328 persons. This is the best proof of the
value of your Society in affording intellectual recreation
to the people. Of its importance in aiding native artists
(who are freely admitted) so much has been already said
that it would seem unnecessary to recur to the subject,

Report, 1849. 59

but as it appears likely that your collection may be made
more useful than ever in connection with schools of
design, now about to be established, it may be observed
that the value of living forms as models cannot be too
highly estimated. It is necessary for the artists to study
the habits of animals before he can represent their
natural character with fidelity, and it would not be
difficult to point out many ludicrous and disgraceful
failures, even in the higher branches of art, arising from
deficiency in this particular knowledge.

In conclusion, your Council would urge on you in-
creased exertion to induce persons to join the Society, to
visit the Gardens more frequently, and in speaking of
them to do so from actual observation.

ROYAL ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF IRELAND.

The annual meeting of the Royal Zoological Society
took place at the Gardens, Phoenix Park, at two o’clock
on yesterday,

J. Owen, Esq., in the Chair.

The following report was read by Robert Ball, LL.p.,
Hon. Secretary :—-

“The members of the Royal Zoological Society are
probably not prepared to receive the congratulations of
the Council in their report at the termination of the 19th
year of the Society, yet such congratulation is herewith
tendered, for it affords the Council great gratification to
be enabled to hand over their trust to the Society, in the
efficient state it is at present. That they do not take an
erroneous view of the subject members will admit, when
they recollect that several years since the Society was
encumbered with much debt; that considerable outlay
was necessary in building, gardening, &c., and that before
these difficulties could be overcome the period of national
distress commenced (which it is earnestly hoped has now
terminated) the opinion of many friends of the Society
naturally was, that it must dissolve, or at least close its
Garden; however, a few that were more sanguine deter-
mined on endeavouring to preserve it; and while they
yielded under the pressure upon them, only bent to rise
again when that pressure was removed. By a rigid
economy, expenses were curtailed, and by much industry
the Garden has been kept steadily advancing, so that now
there is nothing required for buildings or garden; while
the deficiency in the stock of animals, occasioned by
deaths during the last two years, can be readily made up
if a returning prosperity induces the public again to give
to the Society the support it formerly experienced. While
this want of a large stock of animals is acknowledged, it
should be recollected that the Society still possesses what,
in a smaller space than their Garden, would be considered
a considerable menagerie, and that in it are to be found

62 Royal Zoological Society of Ireland

many as fine and interesting specimens as have ever been
exhibited. From many of the old members of the Society,
the Council received all due encouragement in their
difficult task; while by those who have never contributed
anything to, or have not paid their promised subscrip-
tions, they have been too often assailed with complaints
that the collection of animals was not larger. Had the
Council yielded to this unthinking clamour and purchased
animals during the period of difficulty, they should on the
one hand have had to defend themselves from the probable
charge of feeding wild beasts while their fellow-men were
starving, and on the other, those who urged them on to
purchase might have left them to pay as best they could.
As it 1s, your Council have the satisfaction of feeling that
the course they have pursued has preserved to you, and
to the public of Dublin, an Institution of great educational
value. They would ask your attention to the fact, that it
has been maintained at a cost on the average of the last
three years of £760 per annum, and that during that time
it has afforded rational and instructive amusement to
more than 200,000 persons, including the children of
military and other public schools, admitted without a
charge. Your Council is not aware that there is any
similar Institution which thus opens its doors not only to
schools, but to Students in the arts of design ; besides, it
admits the people at large once a week at the merely
nominal rate of one penny each; a public boon which
must be acknowledged by those who really value the
sanitary condition and intellectual improvement of the
working classes; for it holds out an inducement to the
healthy exercise not of the body only, but of the senses
and the mind. The predecessors of your present Council
justly congratulated you on the possession of an
unrivalled giraffe on the last anniversary. A few days
afterwards a sudden attack carried him off, leaving a
blank not easily supplied.

“During the year fifteen new members and seven
subscribers have been enrolled in the Society as follows :

“ Among the members deceased during the year were
two of your Council. The late Richard Carmichael and
William Cooke Taylor, LL.p.; both losses were deeply
felt by the Council.

“Surgeon Carmichael (an original member of the
Society) though not directly engagedin ordinary zoological
pursuits, was eminently acquainted with some of the more
abstruse and more valuable branches of animal physi-
ology. His was a European celebrity, which to dwell on
your Council feel would be only to recount the merits of
one whose deeds are personally known to_ most, publicly
known to all of you. A very short time before his death
he expressed his intention of being more actively engaged
in the service of the Society than he had been before.

“Dr. Cooke Taylor, a man of wonderful general infor-
mation, contemplated aiding the Society with his versatile
pen. Had he lived he, no doubt, would have done much
to make popular the objects of the Society.

now brought into account on settlement with Mr. Porter.
It includes the printing of several years—the actual cost
this year being only £20 15s. It should be understood,
however, that during the period he received subscriptions
from members of the Society, included above, and for
which he gave credit in his accounts. The actual expen-
diture this year is not more than £660 for the main-
tenance of the Society.

ROYAL ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY.

THE annual meeting of this Society was held yesterday
at Dr. Ball’s Rooms, 5, Trinity College, at shortly about
two o'clock, the chair was taken by M.J. O’ Kelly, Esq.

Dr. Ball read the following Report :—

“The Council of the Royal Zoological Society of
Ireland, in compliance with practice, tender their Report
on the Society for the past year, the 21st of its existence.

“The Council have to congratulate the Society on
its safe passage through many trials during the last few
years, when it often seemed a hopeless struggle to
preserve it from dissolution; nevertheless the Council,
conscious of the high value of so useful an Institution,
did persevere and have succeeded. The following state-
ment will show a better prospect for the future than the
most sanguine anticipated a short time since.

“The Society, now of full age, with much experience in
all its working, enters upon a fresh career with few of
the difficulties which attended its outset. The Garden
is now in beautiful order, the Houses sufficient for the
Society’s purpose, the prospect of extended usefulness
daily increasing, owing to the extension of railways—the
adoption of excursion trains, the doing away of turnpikes
on the leading roads, the revival of Zoological taste in
England and elsewhere, and generally improved means
of the public.

“In October last the Council addressed a circular to
the actual members of the Society, stating their condition
as to current debts and future prospects. This circular
was promptly and generously responded to, and a sum
paid in, which at once relieved the Council from the heavy
responsibilities it had long endured.

“The Council, grateful for this aid, failed not to
continue the strict economy by which alone the Society
has hitherto been preserved through difficulty. The
result will be manifest on inspection of the annexed
abstract of the Treasurer’s Account.

“Many unreasonable complaints have been made of
the smallness of the Society’s collection of animals. It
will generally be found that these complaints proceed

68 Royal Zoological Society of Ireland

from persons who have never contributed to its increase.
The fact is, that the collection is large and interesting
compared with the narrow income of the Society. This
income barely kept the Society alive through those years
of distress, when, even had it been larger, the propriety
of congregating animals consuming human food may
have been questioned. The Council have recently been
desirous of increasing the collection, and have made
arrangements for doing so, but at present there are no
suitable animals in the ordinary market for sale, within a
short time the Antwerp, London, and other Zoological
Institutions having purchased the entire. The Society
and the public may now consider that the foundation of
the Institution is so complete, that in future the extent of
the collection will be only limited by the pecuniary
support the Society receives.

“The Council have pleasure in directing attention to
the return of visitors which shows a total of 66,160
persons, a number whose educational recreation furnishes
no light claim on those who value the intellectual welfare
of their fellows. No Institution in the British Dominions,
unsupported by Government grants, ministers so much
to the public benefit, either altogether freely, or at a
nominal charge. The Council endeavoured to have a
course of lectures delivered by eminent members of the
Society, but from various causes they were unable to
effect a satisfactory arrangement. They, however, hope
that their endeavour will secure a brilliant course next
winter. The Council are happy to say that a large
number of the Corporation were enrolled in the lists of
the Society, that the losses by death, resignation, or
removal for non-payment of subscription have been
comparatively few, while the members who have been
enrolled in the Society or rejoined it, have been numerous,
as will appear from the annexed return; forty-five
members and subscribers have been added to the roll,
sixteen have been removed, giving an increase on the
year of twenty-nine. Three annual members have com-
pounded for life by paying £8 each.

“It having been represented that the practice of
holding a promenade on the Ist of May was inconvenient,
owing to the coldness of the weather, it was postponed
until the 10th, that day being the anniversary of the
foundation of the Society. Several persons having since
stated that while the present weather holds, they will not

Report, 1857. 69

promise to attend, it has been deemed prudent still
further to postpone until more genial tempefature gives
a promise of success.

“By the abstract of the Treasurer’s Account, it wi!l
appear that on the year there was a balance of £294 4s. 03d.
in favour of the Society. This being diminished by
£245 4s. 7id., the balance against the Society last year,
leaves £48 19s. 5d. now in its favour in the general
account, a small sum certainly, but one likely to be rapidly
increased by the usual influx of visitors at this period of
the year and by the proceeds of the intended promenade.

“ The liabilities of the Society are very small, excluding
the remains of the original debenture debt. The interest
on this has in most cases been kept down by giving credit
to the holders for their subscriptions; those debentures
have been surrendered as donations to the Society, and
one given in exchange for life membership.

[Saunders’ News-Letter, Wednesday, May 5, 1852).

ROYAL ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY.

THE annual meeting of this Society was held yesterday
in Dr. Ball’s rooms, 5 Trinity College.

The Venerable the Archdeacon of Glendalough
occupied the chair.

Dr. Ball, one of the Secretaries, read the sub-joined
report :—

“ At the close of the 22nd year of the existence of the
Royal Zoological Society its Council have to report on
its progress and prospects.

“It has been usual to urge upon the Society and
through it upon the public its value in an educational
point of view; but your Council do not now feel called
upon to reiterate the many and sound arguments used by
their predecessors, feeling that they can refer to the
increased number of visitors in proof that the usefulness
of your Institution is being fully established in public
estimation.

“The death of Mr. Buckley, your Superintendent,
occasioned much regret, and some trouble and expense,
he dying of fever of a few days duration and leaving a
widow and nine children unprovided for. Your Council
caused an address to be circulated to the members of the
Society, which was rapidly answered by numerous con-
tributions, amounting in the whole to £161. By the
proper application of this sum, which has been placed in
the hands of Trustees, it is hoped Mrs. Buckley will be
enabled to bring up her children.

“Your Council have again to draw your attention to
the kind liberality of the Zoological Society of London,
who have lent or given to you some of the most interesting
animals in the collection.

“The purchases of animals during the past year have
been very small, not merely from a desire of economy,
but from the absolute impracticability of getting suitable
specimens at such fair cost as would render purchases
prudent.

“Your Council effected an arrangement with the

74 Royal Zoological Society of Ireland

managers of the Kaffir Exhibition, which appeared to
afford much gratification to the members of the Society
who visited the garden at the time, but it was not of
pecuniary advantage.

“Your Council have paid much attention to the
restoration of the houses, and the improvement of the
Garden ; and they earnestly request the members of the
Society to visit the work and judge for themselves of
the extent of improvement they have effected. At the
same time they would urge upon the public that here is
a garden possessed of great natural beauty, in excellent
order, proved by accurate statistics to be pre-eminently
healthy, having had many thousand pounds expended on
it, regulated by 22 years’ experience, affording rational
and instructive recreation to almost 100,000 persons in
the year, ministering to the protection of the arts and
sciences, and yet receiving but very feeble aid from
the wealthy and independent. Upon their support the
extent of the collection depends, and none should pre-
sume to deprecate it until they have contributed somewhat
to its increase. Though the collection may be considered
small, as attached to a Royal and National Society and as
scattered over so large a space as your Garden, yet it
holds a respectable position as a menagerie, and it con-
tains many interesting animals, in excellent condition,
affording much instruction.

“Tt will be seen by the return of admissions that the
numbers admitted free, or at a merely nominal rate, are
very large; and it is not sanguine to expect that there
will be this year a large increase of visitors, owing to the
improved condition of the country, the increased influx
of visitors by railway, and the discontinuance of the toll
gates on the leading roads, as well as the increasing
spread of knowledge. Your Council hope that the
difficulties of the Society have passed and that though
its progress may be slow it is certain, and would be rapid
were its members earnestly to apply themselves to recruit
its numbers.

“Your Council deeply deplore the loss Zoological
Science in this country has sustained in the death of
William Thompson, of Belfast, some time a member of
this Society ; honourable, industrious, and single-minded,
he devoted his life to the Natural History of Ireland,
and pre-eminently encouraged others in similar pursuits.

Report, 1852. 75

“Your Council have also to regret the still more
recent loss of the amiable Leland Crosthwaite. Connected
with the Society as one of its oldest members, he had
served upon various Councils, and evidenced his high
value for the Society by many and large pecuniary
contributions.”

[Saunders’ News-Letter, Wednesday, May 4th, 1853).
ROYAL ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY, OF IRELAND.

THE annual meeting of this Society was held yesterday
in Dr. Ball’s room, 5, Trinity College. The chair was
taken by Dr. Croker.

Dr. Ball read the following Report and Statement of
Accounts, which were unanimously adopted:

“The Council of the Royal Zoological Society have,
in accordance with the usual practice, to report on the
state of the Society during the past year. They have
followed the judicious course adopted by the Councils of
the last few years, avoided debt, and endeavoured to
make the Society as generally useful as the means placed
at their disposal would admit. They have constantly
borne in mind how much difficulty resulted to the Society
in its earlier days from the expenditure of money on the
faith that promised subscriptions would be paid up or
that large outlay would produce adequate return; but the
experience of 22 yearshas clearly shown that the existence
of the Society depends upon its not going beyond its
means.

“The accompanying returns will show that steady
progress has been made, and the great objects of the
Society—rational recreation and instruction, have been
well carried out, a result of much higher importance than
many who do not reflect on the working of the Society
imagine.

“The Gardens and grounds have been so much
improved as to call for the admiration of visitors who
have recently seen them.

“The collection during the year has tolerably main-
tained its state, the losses and acquisitions being nearly
balanced. It contains many very fine specimens, but
scattered as they are through the Garden, it appears
small, and there is room and accommodation for a
much larger collection, and for its increase considerable
exertion is being made, in the full hope that the public
will provide the necessary funds to enable the Council to
purchase. It should constantly be recollected that the

78 Royal Zoological Society of Ireland

Society has passed through years of extensive distress
and trial ; that it now occupies a position gained by large
expenditure of time, thought, and money, that it ministers
to the enjoyment and improvement of a very large
number of people at a nominal rate, or altogether free
admission ; that it possesses a singularly beautiful Garden
furnished with adequate houses, &c., and that by its
services rendered, it has a fair claim to share in the
general prosperity which now appears to dawn on this
country.

“ The Society has continued to experience the kindness
of the London Zoological Society in the grant of animals
and loan of a remarkably fine condor, which, with four
other species of vulture, form a fine feature in the
collection.

“It is stated that in the coming summer a collection
of reptiles may be formed, members could assist in this
by asking their friends in foreign countries to send home
specimens, which, for the most part, will come safely if
put in a box having a few air-holes, and placed in the
hold of a ship where they may not be subject to much
change of temperature. The reptiles may be appro-
priately managed in a house which is now in course of
construction for the reception of the finest skeleton of
Plesiosaurus known. It was presented by the Marquess
of Normanby to Sir Philip Crampton, who has kindly
placed it at the disposal of the Society for exhibition.
This most interesting relic of one of ‘the great Sea
Dragons’ of the ancient world, will, no doubt, prove
eminently attractive, not only to the citizens of Dublin,
but to the many scientific and other visitors likely to visit
this city during the next few months, its size is so great
that the Council felt obliged to construct a special building
of 36 feet long for its due exhibition. The building will
be soon completed, and the skeleton and illustrative
specimens prepared for inspection in it.

“Some measures have been taken towards providing
an Aquatic Vivarium, a matter of much interest but not
easily accomplished, owing to the large supply of good
water, soft and fresh, required. It seems difficult to
foretell the effect of the great Exhibition on the society,
it doubtless will lead to the Garden being visited by many
strangers and non-residents, and it is hoped that many of
the nobility and gentry may thus be led to aid the Society.

ES ~~

Report, 1853. 79

The Council would therefore urge on the members to
exert themselves in this direction, and endeavour to
influence their friends to join.

“The only Zoological novelty that it appears necessary
to notice is the breeding of marmosets in the Garden;
probably from the cold being severe at the time they were
produced, they did not long survive their birth.

ROYAL ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY.

REPORT OF COUNCIL; 1854.

THE Council, in presenting the Twenty-Second Annual
Report, have to congratulate the Society on progress
made during the past year.

In common with many other Institutions, your Society
shared the advantages arising from the influx of strangers
brought hither, by the enterprise of Mr. Dargan, to visit
the Great Exhibition. The accession of funds thus
acquired enabled the Council to effect many improve-
ments and works much wanted. They have permanently
rebuilt the stables, sheds, and offices, originally temporary
structures, but long since in a state of decay. They have
built a house for the display of aquatic animals, and have
had a forcing pump, tanks, pipes, &c., fitted for a due
supply of water to this interesting addition, as well as for
supplying water to the two other principal houses. They
have also erected a horizontal windmill, with the view of
zrating the water in the several fish tanks, fifteen of
which, it is hoped, will be in action within the next few
days.”

Dog kennels have been constructed for experiments in
the restoration of the ancient Irish wolf dog, and for the
more extensive breeding of dogs, a considerable demand
existing for blood-hound and other pups, and much profit
to the funds of the Society thence resulting.

The Garden has been top-dressed, the fallen and
decayed timber taken away, and the whole very greatly
improved.

No important losses have been sustained, or additions
made in the collection ; the value on the whole, however,
is slightly increased.

The most interesting animals added, are a pair of
Guanacos and a Mouflon, supposed by some naturalists to
be the original of all the domestic varieties of sheep, from
which it is distinguished by its goat-like hair, enormous
horns, and restless activity.

* The tanks have since been completed, and a plan of zerating the water adopted,
which has proved very successful,

82 Royal Zoological Society of Ireland

The President’s unrivalled skeleton of Plesiosaurus
has continued to attract much attention, and is in itself
more than sufficient to repay the trouble of a visit. The
tent-like house in which it is exhibited, has, as was
expected, stood the winter without injury, and is recom-
mended as an example of an economical and useful
structure.

Pending the acquisition of an Elephant, the Parrots
have been placed in the Elephant house, where they may
now be seen without the annoyance sometimes complained
of in their former locality. The Monkey house, where the
large cage, hitherto occupied by Macaws and Cockatoos,
is being fitted up for the prehensile tailed Monkeys of
America.

The most important event of the year has been the
prospect opened up of Government aid, long anxiously
sought for. This aid is not alone valuable in a pecuniary
point, but much more so in its recognition of Zoology, as
worthy of public support, and in its affording to doubting
members that security for the permanence of the Society
which it hitherto wanted, and which, having obtained, it
is trusted will induce many to join, and those who have
fallen off to rejoin, the Society.

With the view of obtaining the grant referred to, the
Council addressed the following memorial to His Excel-
lency, the Lord Lieutenant, by whom it was favourably
received :—

“May it please your Excellency,

ee

We, the President and Council of the Royal Zoo-
logical Society of Ireland, entreat your Excellency’s
_ consideration of the following Statement and compliance
with the subjoined prayer.

“The Society, instituted in 1831, for the cultivation of
Zoological Science, has, under many and great difficulties,
continued to fulfil the object of the Institution, but this
result has been mainly due to the energy and persever-
ance of a few individuals, who have continued their
exertion in the full belief that the time was coming when
the Institution must receive the full recognition of the
State. As a source of public educational recreation, a
necessary to the full development of the fine arts, an
essential to a most important branch of natural science,

Report, 1854. 83

and a public good too important to be left solely depen-
dent on voluntary exertion.

“We now believe that the time has arrived.

“We presume that the working of the Society is
already so sufficiently known to your Excellency, that our
entering into detail on the subject is unnecessary, but we
venture to urge, as special grounds of consideration :

Ist—That we have laboured assiduously to show the
value and object of Zoological science, by various courses
of lectures, in which we have been aided by many eminent
men of different professions, who have zealously and
gratuitously assisted us; that these courses created more
interest, and were attended by larger classes than were
hitherto seen in Dublin; and thus, that we prepared the
way for the reception of Zoology as a branch of scientific
education, and accordingly it has since taken its place,
with Botany, in the courses of instruction laid down by
the educational institutions more immediately connected
with the Government.

2nd—That we have freely afforded every facility to
artists and students in painting and sculpture, have given
premiums for successful efforts therein, and that we have
promoted anatomical knowledge, so essential to scientific
progress in the schools of medicine.

3rd—And above all, that we have afforded to the
working classes a most attractive place of rational recrea-
tion, one of which they fully avail themselves, and in
which they manifest a conduct so decorous as to claim
still further indulgence—upon this we chiefly found our
claim to public consideration.

It is obvious that, at the nominal rate of one penny
charged for the principal number of admissions, the
Institution cannot be self-supporting ; it must, therefore,
in part depend upon voluntary contributions. These are
quite too uncertain and always too small, properly to
supply the wants of the Society, while the obtaining of
any large amount of annual subscriptions is hopeless,
co-existent with so low a rate of admission, as the advan-
tages offered by subscribers to the Society is thus reduced
in value, to those who look for an equivalent for their
subscriptions. The Society realizes the benefits eloquently
urged on various occasions by the late Sir Robert Peel,
Mr. Hume, Mr. Ewart, and other friends to the instruc-

84 Royal Zoological Society of Ireland

tive recreation of the people, and we have had repeated
opportunities of having the opinion of men of great
attainments, deeply interested in the welfare of the
working classes, and well acquainted with their ordinary
habits; these eminent persons have uniformly testified
to their high estimation of the valuable consequences
evidently resulting from opening the Gardens on Sunday
after divine service, and when they have seen them
crowded by people bearing the marks of weekly toil,
going about in families, enjoying healthful and reflective
recreation, instructing and being instructed, they have
said, but for this garden these people would too, probably,
be in places destructive to mental and bodily health,
incapacitating themselves for fulfilling their duties;
while here they are provided with a resource from which
they go home refreshed, and with quiet minds, fitting
them to work happily for the next week at their several
occupations. We, therefore, believe that we cannot over-
estimate the value of this particular portion of the
working of the Society. We enclose for your Excellency’s
information a copy of a Report of the Council in 1847,
which exemplifies much of the foregoing, also a summary
of the admissions, receipts, and expenditure of the Society
since its foundation; and, finally, on the part of the
Society we submit this, our humble petition, that your
Excellency will be pleased to recommend to Her Majesty’s
Government that an annual grant of such sum as may
appear proper, be made in aid of the funds of the Society,
on the special public grounds we have herein shown.”

To the foregoing no official reply has yet been made;
but in the published Minutes of the Royal Dublin Society
there appears the following extract from a Minute of the
Board of Trade, dated 11th April, 1854 :-—

“ My Lords will recommend that an aid, probably to
the extent of £500* be given to the Gardens of the
Zoological Society, through the agency of the Royal
Dublin Society, if that body will accept the trust.
Though their Lordships would take guarantees that in
return for this sum the public should have adequate
facilities offered for their admission, either gratuitously
or on very low terms, on certain days of the week; still

* The Grant of £500 for the current year has subsequently been made.

Report, 1854. 85

the sum in aid is not to be considered as in any way dis-
pensing with the separate existence of the Zoological
Society: but it would imply that this Society should send
its accounts for audit, and report its proceedings to
Parliament through the Royal Dublin Society. Any
privileges which the latter might receive from the Zoo-
logical Society for undertaking this duty may be made a
matter of joint arrangement between the two Societies,
or, if preferred, will be hereafter decided by this Board,”

From which it appears to be the intention to endow
the Royal Zoological Society with £500 per annum. The
Council having maturely considered the proposition, as
here set forth, consider that the intention of Government
can be met, so far as the security of the Society will
admit, by the adoption of the following :—That the Royal
Zoological Society, with the view of having itself repre-
sented in the Council of the Royal Dublin Society, shall
elect from that Council two of its members, being
members of the Royal Zoological Society, to be also
members of the Council of the Royal Zoological Society;
but as it is obvious that an extension of the privileges of
the Royal Zoological Society to all the members of the
Royal Dublin Society, would at once cut off a large
portion of the income of the Society, and thus negative
the object of Government, it is proposed that the following
advantages be offered in lieu, vizi—that those members
who are not already members of the Royal Zoological
Society, be admissible without entrance fees, being en-
rolled as annual members on payment of £1, and as life
on payment £7. It is proposed, for the benefit of working
people, to open the doors on week-days in the summer
months after six o’clock for one penny, in addition to the
penny admission on Sundays after two o’clock, and to
admit free the students in the School of Design, who
shall be certified by the master as engaged in such studies
as would render their admission advisable.

The children of all charity schools are at present ad-
missible without charge under certain regulations, and
other measures are under consideration with a view to
give increased facilities to the public; but free admission
generally on certain days it is feared would be incom-
patible with payment on other days.

The Council having been repeatedly applied to on the

86 Royal Zoological Society of Ireland

subject of extending the privileges given to members and
their wives, to their governesses or other female inmates
of their houses, with the view of enabling them to send
their children more frequently to the Gardens, the
Council have devised a card, which being properly filled
up by members whose subscriptions have been paid for
the current year, will effect the desired object. Applica-
tions to be made for these cards to the Secretaries.

The Council call particular attention to the number of
visitors shewn in the annexed table, and especially to
those admitted without charge.

ROYAL ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY.

REPORT OF CoUNCIL, Ist May, 1855.

THe Council, in presenting the Twenty-third Annual
Report to the Society, feel that there has scarcely been
one of more importance.

In the Report of last year the Council stated the
measures which had been taken with a view to procure
the aid of Government to the Society, and the strong
hope existing of obtaining the required assistance. This
hope has been realized, and the Society has received a
grant of £500, paid through the Royal Dublin Society,
and the arrangements then referred to, consequent on the
suggestions of the Board of Trade, have, on conference
with the Royal Dublin Society, been duly ratified, and are
here repeated, viz. :—

“That members of the Royal Dublin Society, who are
not members of the Royal Zoological Society, be ad-
missible without payment of entrance fees, being enrolled
as annual members, on payment of £1, and as life
members on payment of £7.”

“That for the benefit of the working people the
Garden be open from Ist of May to Ist September at six
o'clock in the evening, for one penny, in addition to ad-
mission at that rate after two o’clock on Sundays. That
students in the School of Design be admitted free, on
presenting a certificate from the master of the school,
stating that such admission is desirable for the promotion
of their studies.”

For several years past attention has been directed to
make your grounds serve the purpose of a Winter Garden,
and the efforts to do so appeared to be eminently success-
ful, as at Christmas last the general verdant effect was
most satisfactory ; the subsequent frost destroyed many
of the evergreens, but measures have been adopted to
supply the losses sustained, and it is expected that the
result will in the end be an improvement to the general
effect.

The experimental construction of Aquatic Vivaria, for
the exhibition of marine and fresh water animals, has

90 Royal Zoological Society of Ireland

been attended with considerable success; and though
some mischief resulted to these structures from the
unexampled hard frost, yet the injury then done has been
repaired, and the measures taken will insure an exhi-
bition, in the coming season, which must prove eminently
attractive and instructive in this department. The
system of zerating the water, referred to in the last
report, has proved, as expected, very valuable, while its
attractive appearance adds interest to the pleasing
pictures formed in the tanks, by rock work, plants, and
animals.

Another novelty has been introduced. In the large
slate tank, mirrors are concealed in the angles next the
spectators, and throw light upon the fishes from below
and on the rock work with which the tank is lined; the
consequence is that the most minute details of the fishes
are rendered visible, and at some distance from the tank
these animals appear, as it were, to give out light, and
thus attract attention where they could not be seen at all
under the old construction.

The Council, in the Report of last year, notified that
acard had been devised, with the view to comply with
the request of many members, that means should be
adopted by which the children of their families might be
admitted, under the care of governesses or other female
residents in their houses; very few of these cards have
been applied for, but they may be had on application to
the Secretaries.* The cards are in the following form,
which will show the conditions necessary to be complied
with :—

RoyaL ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF IRELAND, 1855.

“To meet the wishes of many Members desirous of
sending their children to the Gardens, at times when
neither these Members nor their Wives can attend, the
Council have devised the following plan, viz.:—That each
Member shall fill up the return (as below); this being
deposited with the Superintendent at the Garden, the
party therein mentioned will be permitted to introduce
any of the Member’s children whose names shall appear
on the Card. The objection hitherto, on the part of the
Council, to extend the privilege to Members in this

* Cards are not available unless subscription be paid for the year. A fresh
card required by annual members each year.

Report, 1855. 91

respect, has been to avoid the demoralizing effect of
children being introduced by Nurses and others into the
Garden under false names; and it is hoped the present
plan will, with the co-operation of the Members, prevent
the evil referred to.”

Signature of Member, Address,

MDSCFIDILON JOP [G0 TGP AI 10... 22... ..62.2c¢0enecsenscenmes:

Signature of Governess or other female inmate of the
Member’s house to whom he desires that the privilege of
introducing his children to the Gardens may be extended.

Many persons having expressed anxiety that Lions
should be added to the collection, the Council entered
into an engagement with an eminent dealer for a pair,
said to be taken at Natal, and these fine young animals
are now the property of the Society, at a cost of £285.
It may be here well to remark that a very erroneous
statement has been made, that the feline animals in your
Zoological Garden are remarkably short lived. Now the
exact reverse is proved to be the fact, by a careful com-
parison with the returns of many other institutions.
None of these excel the Zoological Society in the Phoenix
Park in keeping such animals alive, while some fall very
short in this respect. In proof of the foregoing, it may
be stated that the only large feline animals possessed for
a considerable time by the Society are a Leopard, more
than ten years in the Garden, and a Jaguar and Puma,
about four; all these animals appear now to be in better
health than when they were received. It should be
recollected that the diminution of animals of this kind in
the collection is not to be attributed to death, but to the

92 Royal Zoological Society of Ireland

refusal of members to pay subscriptions in times of
difficulty, through which the then Council struggled with
unexampled perseverance. These difficulties not only
forbade purchases of new animals, but necessitated the
sale of the fine Lioness and Tigress possessed by the
Society, and which sale, with the contributions of a few
members and the always energetic and gratuitous services
of your officers saved it at the time from bankruptcy.

It has been erroneously supposed by some persons
that Government having given a grant of £500 a year to
the Society, individual aid is the less necessary ; now the
exact contrary is the fact; for the Government aid will,
no doubt, be made dependent on the interest manifested
by the public in support of the Society; therefore, at no
time is the increase of the number of members’ subscrip-
tions more desirable.

The Collection did not experience the extent of loss
which may have been expected from the great severity of
the last few months, and with the exception of the Lions
above referred to, and some fine Parrots, no very impor-
tant addition has been made; it will be found, however,
on inspection that though the Collection is small, it con-
tains a very instructive series of quadrupeds and birds,
including a few rare and very excellent specimens, some
of which have been twenty years in the Garden, and the
collection of fishes, &c., is a new and very interesting
feature.

In the early part of the spring some manifestation of
thoughtless teasing of animals, and of other mischief
having been observed, the Council deemed it right to
address a temperate remonstrance to the people, calling
on them, as they valued their own characters, to repress
conduct so unworthy, the result has been that many
persons have exerted themselves to enforce decorum ;
and the effect has been very obvious in the improved
manners of juvenile visitors.

The Council have had aviaries, &c., rebuilt, and have
to thank John Martin, Esq., one of their members, for a
very large contribution of timber to enable them to do
this work in the creditable manner in which it has been
executed.

The Council cannot conclude their report without.a
deep expression of regret at the loss of their much loved

Report, 1855. 93

honorary member, the late Professor Edward Forbes,
one known wherever zoology is heard of, and one who
was not more generally known than affectionately re-
garded.

They have also to record, with feelings of having lost
a friend, the death of James Edward Winterbottom, Esq.,
an energetic traveller and a liberal donor to this Society,
of which he was a life member.

Sir Henry De La Beche too, a member of the Society,
and one whose promotion of Natural Science for its own
sake, was beyond praise, has passed away—the Council
cannot forget the interest he took in the well-being of the
Society, and the useful advice he gave at many of the
Council’s meetings.

To these three eminent persons the Society owed
much for the position it obtained in the estimation of the
Government authorities, but principally to Professor
Forbes who, in his public lecture given here, and on
many opportunities held it up as an example to other
institutions for its general public usefulness.

[Saunders’ News-Letter, Wednesday, May 7, 1856.]

ROYAL ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY
(TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR).

THe Anniversary Meeting of the Royal Zoological
Society was held in the Royal Dublin Society House,
Kildare Street, yesterday.

John G. Rathbourne, Esgq., in the Chair.

Dr. Ball read the following Report, which was
unanimously adopted :—

“The Council has much satisfaction in reporting to
the Society that its progress during the year just
terminated has been highly encouraging and satisfactory.

It will be seen by the return appended to the Report
that the main object of the Society, viz., the giving of
rational recreation to the people, has been attained,
138,290 persons having visited the Gardens last year,
being a larger number than has yet been recorded in any
like period.

Considerable improvements and additions have been
made with a view to the increase of the collection; houses,
offices and aviaries have been re-built or repaired, and
some new structures have been erected, viz., a new
range of cages for the vultures, a commodious house for
the parrots, and a reptile house with the necessary
heating apparatus. A considerable improvement has
been effected in the repository for Carnivora, in which
the Lions, etc., are kept; a passage has been formed
through it, which will greatly facilitate the progress of
visitors, who hitherto suffered inconvenience by having
to force their way back through the incoming crowd.
They now pass on through an extensive rosary which
has just been planted; from this they come upon the

96 Royal Zoological Society of Ireland

tent house, where is displayed the gigantic skeleton of
a Plesiosaurus, and round which has recently been
hung a series of instructive diagrams illustrating the
classification of animals.

The Council has continued to be successful in the
management of Aquatic Vivaria, and a considerable in-
crease in this department is being made. In this the
system of eration, here first used, will be further
developed, and means are being taken to make the whole
both useful and instructive. In addition to the rosary
above referred to an extensive fernery has been formed,
which, it is hoped, will in coming years afford much
gratification. For the greater number of ferns here
planted the Society is indebted to the exertions of
Professor Melville, by whom they were collected in the
County of Galway.

In the last Report it was stated that an endeavour
had been made to improve the appearance of the Garden
in winter by the plantation of evergreens; the good
effects of this measure were apparent in the past winter,
and may be expected to manifest themselves still more
in future seasons.

The collection, since last Report, has not received any
important additions or experienced any serious loss.
The Lions which had been purchased at the end of last
year have thriven extremely, and are now, for their age,
remarkably fine animals.

The conduct of visitors has, on the whole, been com-
mendable, and it is hoped that when they bear in mind
that the flowers and animals collected in the Garden are
for the public gratification, they will themselves feel it to
be their duty and interest to protect them from injury.

Hon. Secretary, Hans Irvine, m.B.

The following Report was read and unanimously
adopted :—

“The Council in presenting this their Twenty-fifth
Annual Report, have to deplore the loss which the Society
has so recentiy sustained, and which is still painfully
fresh in all our minds. Our late indefatigable Hon.
Secretary, Robert Ball, Lu.p., has been suddenly removed
from our circle by death in the strength and vigour of
his manhood and in the full career of his usefulness. He
died on the 30th of March last, after an illness of but three
days, having just completed his 55th year. For 20 years
he had filled the office of Hon. Sec. to this Society, and
during the whole of that long period he had laboured
gratuitously to promote its welfare and advancement.
With him the prosperity of the Zoological Gardens was a
personal concern. He devoted to them an amount of
constant superintendence and care such as few men
would have given, and such as cannot be purchased by
money. His motives for this exertion were a pure love
of science for its own sake, and a benevolent desire to
make that science as available as possible to the widest
circle of the public. With this view he was unceasing in
his efforts to render the gardens attractive—whether in

100 Royal Zoological Society of Ireland

the general arrangement and planting of the grounds, in
the keeping up of the stock of animals, or in various
ingenious methods which he originated for the better
display of the animals. We allude now more particularly
to the arrangements of the Fish tanks, one of the latest
attractions of the Gardens, and which have been con-
siderably improved by him. He was also evera strenuous
advocate for the cheap admission of the public, and took
particular delight in witnessing the ordinary conduct of
the crowds of visitors from among the working classes
admitted on Sunday afternoons at the penny entrance
money. Within the last two years this cheap entrance
has been further extended to the evenings of week-
days during the summer months, and has been found to
answer the purpose of its benevolent originator. Up to
the last week of his life the Gardens had the benefit of
his supervision, and from his sick bed he dictated a last
message to the Council. To this Society the loss of a
Secretary so eminently endowed by nature, and so un-
tiring in the discharge of his duty, is indeed great; and
your Council feel that in having recommended to you to
contribute donations towards a testimonial to his memory
they have only discharged a public duty. We owe
such men debts that no tribute of this kind can
adequately repay, but this consideration should not
prevent us from doing all in our power to show our
appreciation of a character so excellent, and oursympathy
with a family deprived of its head at the moment when
his care was most needed. A circular letter recom-
mending such testimonial, has been addressed to the
members of the Society, and the fund is in course of
being collected. The following is a copy of the letter :—

“ Royal Zoological Gardens,
“ Phoenix Park, Dublin.

“ Srr,—At the first Meeting of the Council of the
Royal Zoological Society of Ireland, held after the death
of their deeply lamented secretary, the late Dr. Ball, it
was unanimously resolved that some testimonial should
mark their sense of his services and their respect for his
memory. This resolution, they feel assured, will be re-
sponded to by every member of the Society; all will
acknowledge the loss which science and education have

ae

Report, 1857. 101

sustained by his death, and will feel deeply for the afflic-
tion which has fallen upon his family. The members of
the Zoological Society, in common with all who appreciate
the study of zoology, must ever gratefully remember
Dr. Ball’s services during the long period of his secre-
taryship, extending over twenty years. He gave his
services gratuitously to the Society, and bestowed un-
ceasing care and supervision on its collections and its
gardens. To his unwearied exertions, through years of
difficulty, is mainly due the preservation, and indeed
the present existence of the Gardens. They are now ina
position of comparative stability. Zoology is recognised
by the State as an essential part of popular education,
and is encouraged as a study, tending to the cultivation
of some of the best feelings of our nature. To attain
these ends, Dr. Ball’s energies were unwearingly and
successfully directed. Amongst his many useful exertions
in connection with the Zoological Society, must not be
omitted the introduction of penny admissions for the
labouring classes, who have thus had placed within their
reach an unfailing field of innocent recreation and intel-
lectual gratification. The success and good results of
that measure are now generally recognized and held
forth as an example for other public institutions in this
and other countries. The improvement and enjoyment
of the humbler classes were objects ever present to his
benevolent mind. Impressed with these considerations
the Council of the Zoological Society feel they now only
give expression to the universal desire of its members, to
mark by some testimonial their sense of the debt due to
their late Secretary. The Council, therefore, after much
deliberation, beg to submit to the members at large that,
in their opinion, the most fitting as well as the most
grateful testimonial would be in the form of a fund, to be
applied to the education and advancement of his children.
Sir Philip Crampton, Dr. Corrigan, Mr. Hutton (treasurer),
Professor Harvey, and Mr. Callwell have kindly con-
sented to act as trustees, to whom, or to the Hon.
Secretaries or to any member of the Council, you will
please to forward your contribution as soon as convenient,
as it is desirable that the most eligible mode of investing
and applying it should be decided upon with as little
delay as possible.—I have the honour to remain, &c.

“ Hans IRVINE, M.B.”’

102 Royal Zoological Society of Ireland

“The subject of the future management of the
Gardens has engaged the earnest attention of the Council,
and as it has appeared to them that it would be unreason-
able to expect from any unpaid individual such an amount
of personal attention as was freely given by Dr. Ball,
they have deemed it expedient to appoint a salaried
assistant-secretary, whose duty it shall be to look closely
after the details of the Garden management, and to
exercise a general superintendence under the advice and
direction of the Council. And deeming it also essential
to the welfare of the Gardens that no time should be lost
in providing such a superintendence, they have tempor-
arily appointed Mr. Joseph Green, assistant secretary, at
a salary of £75 per annum. It will be competent to the
Society to revise this appointment at a future day, of
which due notice shall be given. Several additional
improvements have been made at the Gardens during the
past year, chiefly in providing better accommodation for
the animals. A respectable house has been specially
appropriated to the Parrot tribe and newly fitted up; a
reptile house has been constructed and supplied with a
heating apparatus, which also heats the monkey-house
adjoining. The health of the animals in these houses has
improved since these changes have been made. Two new
Aviaries have been finished, and a third, intended for
owls, is in progress of erection. A Fernery has been
planted at the lower end of the Gardens, and the orna-
mental flower garden has been, in several respects,
improved. Among the additions made to our stock of
mammalia, the most important is a magnificent Bactrian
Camel, taken from the Russians on the field of
Alma, and presented to the Society by William Carte,
Esq., staff assistant surgeon. On the whole, the state of
the Gardens during the past year has been satisfactory, and
the Council, relying onthe favour of the public, look forward
with hope to the coming season. But they would press
on the members the urgent necessity of their continued
support, as the Gardens cannot be kept up without money,
and the funds at present are scarcely more than sufficient
to maintain the collection we possess and leave but little
surplus for the acquisition of novelties. It cannot be too
frequently or too strongly urged on the attention of
members that the Government grant of £500, which
we at present enjoy, is only given in aid of our proper
revenue; and far from being intended to check private

Report, 1857. 103

contributions is really contingent on them, and is the
more likely to be continued to us the more efficiently are
we supported by individuals. So long as the Gardens
have the favour of the public generally, the Government
may consistently patronise them; but should their proper
patrons, the public, neglect them, they will soon cease to
be supported by a popular Government.

The following were elected for the ensuing year :—

President—Sir Philip Crampton, Bart.

Ex-Presidents— His Grace the Archbishop of Dublin,
His Grace the Duke of Leinster, the Marquis of Kildare,
Lord Talbot de Malahide, Major-General Portlock.

ROYAL ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF IRELAND.

Tue Annual Meeting of the Royal Zoological Society was
held in the Board-room of the Royal Dublin Society on
Tuesday, 3rd May, 1859, Doctor Corrigan, Vice-president,
in the chair, when the following Report of the Council
for the year 1858-9 was read:

The Council of the Royal Zoological Society for the
year 1858-9 have now the pleasure of laying before the
members the Twenty-seventh Annual Report, and the
gratification of stating that the public of all classes con-
tinue to appreciate the objects for which the gardens
have been established and maintained—instruction and
recreation.

In the year ending April 30th, 1857, the
gardens were visited by _... ... 122,518 persons
In the year ending April 30th, 1858, by — 136,859 __,,
In the past year, ending April 30th, 1859, by 150,113 es
In classifying these numbers we find that
there were admitted on members’

Admitted at the ordinary daily rate of admission,

Admitted at reduced rate of one penny: on Sun-
days after two o’clock, and on every week day,
in summer months, after six o’clock Peal sO207

The numbers congregated in the gardens on cheap
admission days frequently amounted to upwards of 3,000
persons, and the Council feel the greatest pleasure in
being able to state that, in not a single instance during
the year has it been necessary to call in the aid of a
policeman to preserve order. The Council have with-
drawn from the placards in the gardens all threats of
penalty or prosecution, and have substituted the following
notice, containing merely an appeal to the sense of pro-
priety and good conduct :—‘ Please don’t tease the
animals. Don’t break the shrubs, or pluck the flowers ;
they are all kept here for your gratification and instruc-

108 Royal Zoological Society of Ireland

tion.” The Council feel the more pleasure in making the
announcement, as flower beds and many rare and
valuable shrubs have been added to the attractions of the
Gardens. Encouraged by this experience, the Council
have still further extended the system of cheap admis-
sions; and, in addition to Sundays after two o’clock, and
all the principal holidays, the gardens are now open on
all week days from five o’clock in the afternoon to dusk,
during the summer months, at the low rate of one penny.
They have no doubt that the result will be an extension
of advantage to the public and to the Gardens. The
public will enjoy a free access, and the funds of the
Gardens will be increased, for by the accounts which are
laid before you, it will be seen that while the sum received
within the year at 6d.admission, amounted to £354 14s. 6d.,
the penny admission brought to our funds the sum of
£542 10s.7d. Astatement of the accounts presented by the
treasurer will be laid before you. The income from all
sources during the past year has been £1,886 19s. 1#d., that
of the preceding year, £1,598 1s. 8d., showing an increase on
the year ending April 30th, 1859, of £288 17s. 5id. The
expenditure during the past year was £1,955 2s. 3d.,
showing an expenditure over income of £68 3s. lid. The
Council regret that, as appears by the above account, the
Society is in debt at the end of this year, to the amount
of £68 3s. l?d. They have, however, within the past year
purchased animals to the amount of £376 11s. 32d., and
they have constructed, at a considerable cost, new cages
and enclosures. They hope the exertions they have made,
and the responsibilities they have incurred in these
respects, will obtain a corresponding exertion from the
members and from the public for the support of the
Gardens. Among the purchases within the past year
have been a splendid Bengal tiger, at a cost of £150; a
nyl-ghau, for £42; a kangaroo, £20; and at minor prices
African sheep and many other smaller animals. The
Polar or white bear of the Arctic regions, purchased in
the preceding year, continues to be an object of great
attraction. Four lion cubs have been bred in the Gardens
within the past year, making in all five within two years.
Of these, two have been sold for £80, and two, now much
grown, are in the Gardens. Other animals have been
added by purchase, and 79, as per list subjoined, have
been presented to the Gardens. The marine and fresh
water aquaria are in perfect order, and continue to

Report, 1859. 109

present a successive series of objects of great interest.
At the head of the list of donations, and the most valuable,
are a lion and two ostriches, presented by Her Majesty.
The Council, having heard of the unexpected arrival of
some animals as presents to Her Majesty from the
Emperor of Morocco, took steps to submit the claims of
the Society to Her Majesty’s consideration, and Her
Majesty was graciously pleased to present to the Society
a lion and a pair of ostriches. The lion, the Council
regret to say, died almost immediately on its landing. It
appeared to have suffered from illness of long duration.
The ostriches had also felt the effect of a sea voyage at
an unfavourable season of the year, but through the
indefatigable care of your Assistant Secretary, and those
under him, they are in good health, and are just now
throwing out their full plumage. The Council entertain
a confident hope that her most gracious Majesty will
continue to mark her approval of the management and
purposes of the Gardens by occasional donations of
animals, as opportunities may present themselves. Your
Council here desire to record their thanks to the Right
Honorable S. Walpole, Secretary of State, and to the
Honorable Sir C. Phipps, Keeper of the Privy Purse, for
their prompt and kind attention in bringing the application
of Council under Her Majesty’s consideration. In one
department of natural history, that of water fowl, your
Garden would be unrivalled if sufficient protection were
afforded ; but, as long as only one side of the pond of the
Gardens is enclosed, sufficient protection cannot be
attained. The unprotected side of the pond permits the
escape of water fowl, and leaves them exposed to mis-
chievous persons and to dogs. The Council some years
ago made an application, which was unsuccessful, to have
the pond enclosed. They entertain, however, a confident
hope that on the matter being fully explained and again
brought under the notice of His Excellency, and of the
authorities having the care of the Phoenix Park, their
request may be entertained. The fencing which the
Council have in contemplation would be so much below
the level of the road to the Viceregal Lodge, and of such
a nature that not only the view would not be interfered
with, but the beauty of the drive would be increased by
the appearance of the varieties of water fowl; while the
low rate of admission ‘would present no obstacle to the
humblest of the community enjoying both banks of the

110 Royal Zoological Society of Ireland

pond within the Gardens. Were this proposed improve-
ment carried out, the Gardens would possess almost
unequalled capabilities for introducing and multiplying
the various kinds of water fowl; and, in an economic
point of view, this is a consideration of importance, for
water fowl afford a greater variety of food, and at a lower
cost than any other species of fowl.

It had been the practice of the Society, for many
years, to dispose of the dead animals by purchase. This
led in some instances to dissatisfaction, and occasionally,
in hot weather, to total loss of the dead animal. The
Council have discontinued the practice, and are making
such arrangements as they trust will make the dead
animals conducive to the advantage of the Museum of
Natural History of the Royal Dublin Society, and of the
principal Museums of Comparative Anatomy in the city.
Within the past year the donations of dead animals to
the Museum of the Royal Dublin Society amounted to
above a hundred. With the kind attention and super-
vision of Messrs. Jukes and Sanders, the Council have
taken measures to protect, and they hope permanently to
preserve, the skeleton of the Plesiosaurus, a specimen of
the fossil world unrivalled in size and perfection. This
wonderful specimen of a long past age, the Society is
aware, was placed in the Gardens by your late lamented
president, Sir Philip Crampton, and at his death was
presented as a donation by his son, the present Sir John
Crampton. It now remains in the Gardens, an object of
great interest on its own account, as well as a fitting
memorial of our late president—one of the founders of
our Gardens, twenty-seven years since. From that period
until his death Sir Philip Crampton continued to take the
most lively interest in this Society, and in the midst of
continued and pressing professional occupation, gave to
the Gardens his unwearied attention, enjoying in return,
the highest gratification to him, the consciousness that in
so doing he was contributing to the extension of knowledge,
of kindly feelings, and of intellectual enjoyment among
all classes of his fellow-citizens. His name will be long
preserved among those most deserving to be remembered
for their contributions to science, and their good deeds to
society. ,

ROYAL ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF IRELAND.

THE annual meeting of the Royal Zoological Society
was held in the Board-room of the Royal Dublin Society
on Tuesday, 8th May, 1860, D. J. Corrigan, Esq., m.p., in
the chair.

Dr. Harvey read the following report of Council :—

The Council of the Royal Zoological Society for the

year 1859-60 in presenting this, the 28th Annual Report,
have the pleasure to congratulate the members on the
continued efficient state of the Gardens, and on the
undiminished interest felt by a large section of the public
in the Society’s collection of animals.

It will be seen from the abstract of the Treasurer’s
accounts now laid before you, that the visitors to the
Gardens during the year just ended were more numerous
by 6,588 than in the previous year, a highly satisfactory
result, considering the very inclement winter and spring
through which we have just passed. But for the long-
continued cold and wet of the last three months the
numbers would, doubtless, have been greatly in excess of
those of 1859. This is clear by comparing the numbers
for February and March with those of April, and observing
the very sudden rise within the last month, consequent
on improved weather. Thus:—In February the visitors
were 3,923 ; March, 6,409; April, 24,213.

Certainly, there is no diminution in the interest felt
by the Society’s principal supporters,—those crowds of
eager gazers that visit your Gardens at the penny rate
on Sunday afternoons and on summer evenings. On one
of the few fine Sunday afternoons of last monthno lessthan
6,002 persons were in the Gardens at one time, and during
the year the number admitted at the penny rate was
134,926. In 1858-9 the number at the penny rate was
130,207, showing an increase of 4,719 during the year.
Thus, more than two-thirds of the whole excess of
numbers in the current year consisted of penny admis-
sions. This fact sufficiently proves that the class for
whose instruction and healthy recreation the Gardens
have been opened at a merely nominal rate, continues to

114 Royal Zoological Society of Ireland

appreciate the advantages they afford, and thus that one
great aim of the Society has been accomplished.

The Council wish that, in turning from the humbler
ranks to those who, by wealth and education, are placed
above them, they could report with equal truth of
increased interest felt, or increased support afforded, by
the wealthy classes of our metropolis. But the
Treasurer’s balance-sheet shows no gratifying evidence
under this head. On the contrary, although thirty-seven
new members have joined the Society during the financial
year, yet so many more of our old members and sub-
scribers have ceased (or omitted) to pay their subscriptions,
that the funds received from subscriptions and entrance
fees are less by £29 12s. than in the previous year. Itis
much to be regretted that in a great and wealthy city like
Dublin so few from the upper ranks are found willing to
contribute an annual pound to an institution that confers
on a large number of the poorer classes so much instruc-
tion and enjoyment, and that freely opens its doors to all
public schools and industrial associations. The whole
income of the Society last year, from every source, was
£1,854 5s. l¢d. Of this sum only £233 accrued from
members’ subscriptions and entrance fees, while
£562 3s. 10d. was received from penny admissions.

Many in the upper ranks probably take little personal
interest in your collections, which they rarely visit, and,
perhaps, think scarcely worthy of a visit. But whether
wealthy citizens of Dublin individually care for the
recreation afforded by zoological collections or not, they
ought not to be indifferent to an institution that gives
pleasure and instruction to 135,000 of the poorer classes
of their fellow-citizens, and which only needs augmented
funds to become still more attractive than it is, and to
open its teaching to astill wider and constantly expanding
circle. They ought to remember that heavy annual
expenses are entailed on the Society in keeping up, as
well as in feeding and housing, the collection of animals.
Last year’s balance-sheet shows an expenditure in
1859-60 :-—

And that the whole cost of actual management, that
is to say, salaries and wages, was only £352 Os. 9d. At
the close of 1858-9 there was a balance of £68 3s. 1#d.
against the Society ; at the close of the present year the
deficiency is £296 Os. 24d. By the exercise of a watchful
economy the Council trust, in the course of the ensuing
year, to be enabled to meet this deficiency. But unless
more liberally supported by the public they can hardly
expect to have the means at their disposal of adding
greatly to their collection of animals. Is it too much,
then, to hope that the appeal now made to the wealthier
classes should result in such an increase of annual
members and Garden subscribers as would enable the
Society not merely to pay its debts and pay its way, but
largely to extend its usefulness ?

A new house for the carnivora, capable of properly
displaying the fine series of lions, tigers, and leopards
now owned by the Society, is very much needed; but its
erection has been, year by year, deferred for want of the
requisite funds. New cages for some of the larger
quadrupeds and birds are also very desirable. The condor,
whose outstretched wings measure ten feet, is at present,
of necessity, cooped up in a cage of very insufficient size;
so that the fine specimen we possess of this noble and
costly bird is in danger of suffering in health by his
present confinement, and cannot be considered as being
adequately housed until a cage of at least four times the
dimensions of the present coop be provided.

A list of the animals presented and purchased during
the year will accompany this Report. As the most
valuable donation of the year, and one of the most
valuable ever received by the Society, the Council draws
special attention to the presentation by Lieut.-Colonel
Montgomery, 14th Bombay Foot, of a magnificent pair
of Royal Bengal tigers. These fine animals, sent from
India, have recently arrived by long sea, in perfect
health and beauty of coat. The expenses of transit have
been considerable, and constitute one chief item in the
year’s deficiency ; but the intrinsic value of the animals,
andthe increased attractions their exhibition affords, amply
compensate the Society for their expenses incurred, and
leave a large debt of obligation due, on your part, to
Colonel Montgomery, for his splendid present. On the
safe arrival of the tigers, the Council unanimously elected

116 Royal Zoological Society of Ireland

Colonel Montgomery a life member of the society; but
feeling that life membership, conferred by their vote,
would be a very inadequate expression of what is due
from the Society, they now propose to you to elect him
at this Annual Meeting, and by acclamation, an honorary
member.

Other donations, worthy of special notice, are: a pair
of bisons, presented by the Marquis of Breadalbane, hon.
member, and a jungle bear (Ursus Jabiatus), by Captain
Prittie, life member.

Within the year five lion cubs have been born and
successfully reared; but the Council regret that the
nursing so large a litter has cost the Society the life of
the lioness. Her death, and that of the polar bear, are
the chief losses of the year.

The fresh water and marine aquaria have been well
supplied throughout the year with fishes and invertebrate
animals, and continue to be attractive to the public.
Many curious marine creatures, which otherwise would
be scarcely known to any but the exploring naturalist, are
by the aquaria rendered familiar to thousands of delighted
visitors. And this part of your collection has the peculiar
recommendation of being kept up efficiently at an
expenditure very trifling in proportion to the pleasure
and instruction it affords.

The ornamental flower-beds and shrubberies have
been enlarged and otherwise improved during the year;
and when some alterations in contemplation, shall be
completed, your Garden, beautiful as it confessedly is,
will be still more deserving of praise. To render these
improvements practicable, and to give permanence to
what has been done, one thing, above all others, seems to
be required. This is, the annexation of the further bank
of the pond, and the protection of the new frontier by a
sufficient fence. At present the unprotected side of the
pond, as reported last year, “ permits the escape of our
waterfowl, and leaves them exposed to mischievous
persons and to dogs.” It also allows the free ingress of
deer from the herd in the park, and exposes the orna-
mental shrubberies to destruction by these wayward
animals. This subject has been repeatedly brought under
the notice of the Government, and is still before his
Excellency the Lord Lieutenant; and your Council are
not without hope that the official difficulties may be

a |

Report, 1860. 117

speedily arranged, and the entire pond enclosed within
the Garden fence. That such enclosure would not form
an unsightly obstruction to the view from the park is now
admitted; and that it would enable the Society greatly to
increase to the public the attractions of the Gardens, may
readily be shown. The grant of the additional ground
would, therefore, be a boon fully as great to the public as
to the Society. On this subject the Council may be per-
mitted to quote the following extract from a Report
drawn up in 1832 by Mr. Decimus Burton, on the first
establishment of these Gardens, viz. :

“Tt will also be obvious, that to render the water of
‘practical benefit to the Society, it should be enclosed
within the boundary. The best mode of attaining this
object would be for the Society to obtain, if possible, a
grant of the opposite bank, extending to the road which
leads to the Viceregal Lodge. This also would be desirable
on other points. The land on each bank might then be
laid out with plantations, walks, and buildings, designed
in such manner as mutually to add to the beauty of the
views from either side of the lake,—and certainly the
general effect of the valley, as seen fromthe Park, would
be greatly improved. Impressed with the idea that one
day or other arrangements will be made by which these
extensions of the site will take place, I have been induced
to prepare the accompanying design (No. 1), in which
they are comprised.”—From Report of DEcimus Burton,
Esg., Surveyor and Architect, 6, Spring-Gardens, London,
October 27th, 1832.

The Council has to lament the loss of one of its
members by death during the year. Mr. Thomas
W. Warren, an old member of the Society, and for many
years a diligent member of Council—died in November
last, bequeathing to the Society a valuable collection of
British birds (stuffed). As the formation of a museum of
stuffed animals forms no part of the plan of the Society,
and as there are no means of exhibiting museum objects
at the Gardens, the Council, while accepting the bequest,
felt a difficulty in disposing of the collection, so as to
carry out the wishes of the donor. On deliberation, they
resolved to deposit the specimens in the Royal Dublin
Society’s Museum, that Society undertaking to receive
the collection as a deposit, and to preserve Mr. Warren’s
name attached to it. This destination appeared to be

118 Royal Zoological Society of Ireland

recommended by the fact, that Mr. Warren had willed
his cabinets of shells to the Dublin Society ; and thus, by
our placing his birds under the same roof, the whole of
Mr. Warren’s contributions to the natural history of
Ireland would not only be preserved in one place, but
would be lodged in the place where they would best be
inspected by students, and be most likely to be safely kept
in perpetuity.

ROYAL ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF IRELAND.

Sh

The Thirty-firss Annual Meeting of the Royal Zoological
Society was held in the Board-room of the Royal Dublin Society,
on the second Tuesday in May, 1863,

The President, Dr. Corrigan, in the Chair.

Professor M‘Dowe Lt, one of the Honorary Secretaries, read
the following

Leport of Council,

At the termination of the financial year, the Council
of the Royal Zoological Society beg to submit, for the
information of the Members, in a brief yet detailed
form, the following Report of the transactions of the
Society since its last Annual Meeting.

Recognized in its true character, as an educa-
tional establishment, the collection in the Gardens of
the Society continues to attract an increasing number
of visiters, a large proportion of whom are of the
humbler classes ; for it appears that whilst the total
number of visiters during the past year was 132,771,
no less than 113,121 were admitted at the penny
rate, contributing to the funds of the Society the sum
of £471 6s. 9d.

The following is a classified return of all the
visiters for the past year :—

Admitted on Members’ privileges ... -» 9,830
* free, from Schools and Public Insti-

tutions ae oa 992
ns at the ordinary 6d. ‘rate eee «. 14,279
re at the reduced rate of 1d. aac AST

12

To whom are to be added 549 visiters, not Members,
who attended the Annual Promenade in June.

As compared with last year, there has been an
increase of 7,056 visiters to the Gardens.

The number of Annual Members has been main-
tained at the average of the last few years, and eleven
new Members have joined the Society within the last
twelve months.

The animals have been remarkably healthy during
the last year. Great attention is given to the quality
of the food supplied, and to regularity in the times of
feeding; and whilst all the animals have been unusu-
ally exempt from disease, the Council are satisfied,
that in the monkey tribe a greatly diminished mor-
tality has attended the use of a more varied dietary
than was formerly employed.

The lion family continue to be prolific; one lioness
brought forth four cubs (all males), and the other
two cubs, both females. These are now domesticated,
and form an interesting group in the large cage
allotted to them. One of the lion cubs, born in May,
1861, is now an extremely fine animal, and consider-
able profit may be expected to accrue to the Society
from the sale of these animals. ;

A young nylghau has also been born in the Gar-
dens, and promises to be an attractive animal.

The grounds have been kept in good order ; much
unsightly brushwood has been cleared away, whilst
at the same time, in order to afford shelter from
the cold winds, a shrubbery of evergreens is in
progress of being planted along the eastern side of
the Gardens.

13

During the last year the Council have renewed
their application for a grant of the ground on the
opposite side of the lake. They feel more convinced
than ever that their property will continue insecure,
and their valuable collection of water-fowl especially
suffer loss, as long as their grounds are confined to
one-half of the lake only ; and they still hope that
their representations on this subject may eventually
be successful.

The financial condition of the Society is less unsa-
tisfactory. The debt which pressed on it for several
years has been much reduced in amount; and the
Council yet hope, that as the useful tendencies and
objects of the Society become more generally recog-
nised, the number of its members will be so much
augmented, as to enable the Society materially to
extend its operations, and prevent the recurrence of
such anxiety about its pecuniary engagements as has
been occasionally experienced during the last few
years.

Several subjects have been, and still are, under the
consideration of the Council—as the improved methods
of fish culture; a proper supply of water to the differ-
ent buildings ; and the erection of new and improved
buildings, which, for some of the larger birds and
animals, are greatly needed; but the Council have
been reluctant to undertake any works which were not
absolutely necessary, until the Society was completely
free from debt.

- In the month of October, last year, their late
Superintendent, Mr. James Lowe, who had for many

14

years faithfully discharged the duties entrusted to
him, died after a few days’ illness. After a careful
examination into the qualifications of the many can-
didates who applied for the vacant office, your Council
elected Mr. Baruo.

In conclusion, your Council feel warranted in con-
gratulating the Society on its present position and
prospects, and look forward to such a larger amount
of public support as will enable them, ere long, to
maintain a still larger and more varied collection.

Mr. James Haucuron moved the adoption of the Report.
The Council had much satisfaction in being able to give so
gratifying a report of the present condition of the Society’s
affairs. It was peculiarly gratifying to find that so large an
amount of pleasure and of useful information had been imparted
through the instrumentality of the gardens to a number of their
fellow-citizens in the humbler walks of life. The Report did not
say anything as to what their conduct in the gardens had been
during the last year; but he had no doubt that this deficiency
would be supplied before the meeting was over. It was also
satisfactory to find that the Society was out of debt.

Mr. Merriman seconded the resolution.

The Presipenr said that, in reply to the question of Mr.
Haughton, he had to state that the conduct of the people in the
gardens had been just what it had been for years past, namely,
remarkably good. He made this statement as the organ of the
Council, and with their unanimous concurrence. During the
past year not a single instance of misbehaviour had occurred ;
and, if the fact had not been noticed in the Report, the omission
was really from a feeling of delicacy towards the people, and a
sense that it was not necessary to be always praising them for
their good conduct.

Mr. Haveuton observed that the supply of water for the use
of the animals was very deficient, and had been since the founda-
tion of the gardens. He wished to know could anything be

ee

2

15

done to improve it, and to make the water in the pond more
available than it was.

The Present said he feared he could not answer this ques-
tion so satisfactorily as the first. The water was beside the
gardens in abundance ; but the difficulty was to raise it to such
a height as to command them; and that depended on what
stood in the way of a great many other improvements, namely,
the want of money. In managing their affairs they had been
obliged to use the utmost economy, in which they had been
aided by their worthy treasurer, who felt that however desirable
asupply of water was, it would be very undesirable to go into
debt. What was wanted was an apparatus to raise the water,
and the subject had been referred to a committee, consisting of
Professor Haughton and Mr. Sanders.

Mr. Sanpers said the cost of raising the water and of pro-
viding means to convey it through the gardens—without which
pumps would be of no use—would be about £120.

Mr. Havueurton proposed that a subscription be at once entered
into for the purpose of carrying out the object referred to.

Mr. Sanpers said he would have very much pleasure in sub-
scribing.

The Report was unanimously adopted.

Mr. Sanpers said the Council had deemed it advisable to re-
commend that the bye-law which provided that the President of
the Society should not be elected for a longer period than two
years, and that a President should be two years out of office
before he could be again elected—should be rescinded. It was
the wish of the Council to re-elect their present excellent Pre-
sident, who had been already two years in office. With this
view he moved that the bye-law in question be rescinded, and
that Dr. Corrigan be elected President of the Society for the
ensuing year. A subsequent modification of their rules, by
which it was proposed to fix the time for which a President
might be elected, at five years, would be afterwards brought
forward.

Dr. Barker seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.

Dr. Tempteton then moved—* That the same person shall not
be President for more than five successive years.” The proposed

_ change had been discussed by the Council, and was fully ap-

proved by them.

Dr. Stewart seconded the motion.

Mr. James Havuauron asked could these changes be legally
made, so as to bind the Society.

The Present said that any standing order or fundamental

. ger

law of the Society could only be rescinded upon a fortnight’s _
notice of the intention to that effect being given before a general — + ie
meeting, at which the opinion of the Society on the subject was
to be taken. This requirement had been complied with in the
present instance; and the bye-law now adopted could only be~
rescinded by notice being given in a similar way, before the
next general meeting. The proposed change had met with the
unanimous approval of the Council. He would take that oppor-
tunity of thanking the meeting for their kindness in rescinding
the other bye-law, and electing him President for another —
ear.

; The resolution was put and carried unanimously.

The ballot for the election of the Council and officers for the
ensuing year was closed at five o’clock. Seventy-nine no
of the Society voted. The result was as follows :—

President—D. J. Corrigan, M.D. Vice Presidents aa

ROYAL ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF IRELAND.

—_¢-——__——_

The Thirty-second Annual Meeting of the Royal Zoological
Society was held in the Board-room of the Royal Dublin Society
on the second Tuesday in May, 1864,

The President, Dr. Corrigan, in the Chair.

Professor M‘DoweL, one of the Honorary Secretaries, read
the following

Aeport of Council.

Tue Council of the Royal Zoological Society beg
to submit to the Members their Report for the year
ending May Ist, 1864.

During the past year the number of visiters to the
Gardens amounted to 115,652 persons, who are thus
classified :—

Admitted free on Members’ privileges Reet)
=; free, from Schools and Public Insti-

tutions... re -- 1,483

% ef a oe j Ammnal Promenade | te

53 at the ordinary rate of 6d. -» 14,433

at the reduced rate of 1d, cag) OD, 2

In these numbers a very considerable reduction
will be observed as compared with the past and with
some former years, especially in the admissions at the
1d. rate; but your Council believe that this is not
owing to the Gardens having lost their attractiveness,
or to any diminution in the public taste for objects of
Natural History, but mainly to the circumstance of

LD

_

other objects of interest having been provided for the
instruction and amusement of the masses of our
population, as for example, the Glasnevin Botanical
Gardens and the National Gallery of Paintings.

The Council, however, regard without jealousy these
other agencies for creating and cultivating tastes
which tend to promote the intellectual improvement
of the people, and feel that this Society is still oceupy-
ing a large and important share in this great work, as
long as so many thousand persons are found to avail
themselves of the means of instruction afforded by
the collection in the Society’s Gardens.

It is with great regret, however, that the Council
observe the more unaccountable falling off in the
number of the Annual Members, whose subscriptions
form the only certain source of income besides the
Annual Grant. This cannot be attributed wholly to the
removal by death of some of the older Members, but
in a great degree, it is to be feared, to an apathy and
indifference to the interests and objects of a Society
which ought to have a strong claim on the sympathy
and support of the educated classes.

With a view to induce a larger number to join the
Society, the Council propose to give for the future a
more Scientific character to the Society, by establish-
ing Monthly Meetings, to be held in the city during
the Winter season, at which Papers on subjects con-
nected with Zoology and Comparative Anatomy will
be read and discussed by the Members. Such meet-
ings, it is expected, will prove extremely interesting
in this city, in which the study of Natural History
has always found many and ardent admirers, and the

SS) a

13

Council confidently hope that all who desire to
promote the advance of this favorite branch of Science
will become Members of the Society, and thus aid
them in their endeavours to enlarge and sustain a
Zoological collection which shall be worthy of the
Scientific character of the metropolis of Ireland.

Should these expectations be realised, it is not too
much to hope that the Society will, in a great measure,
be relieved from all financial embarrassments, and a
new impulse be given to investigation in the wide
field of natural history.

The Society regret to state, that during the past
year some valuable animals have died, including
the splendid lion purchased in 1855, and the two
ostriches presented by her Majesty the Queen in 1858.
The sudden occurrence and long continuance of severe
frost occasioned the death of gne of the ostriches,
whilst the lion, it appears, was. upwards of twelve
years of age, which, although not old for the animal
in its wild state, is stated to be about the average
duration of its life in the domesticated condition.

For some time past careful examinations have
been made in all cases of deaths amongst the
animals, and the results carefully noted and re-
corded. In this way, from time to time, information
is obtained which may prove of value as to the
management of the different classes of animals. The
Council are sorry to state that a young seal, in one of
the smaller ponds, died in consequence of an injury
inflicted by some visiters, and feel deep regret that
such an act of cruelty should have been committed ;
but it is only fair to state that this did not occur at
a time when visiters were admitted at the penny rate.

14

These losses have been partly compensated by new
and valuable additions. Each of the two lionesses
has lately brought forth five cubs, of which nine are
living and thriving extremely well (making seventeen
whelped within the year); and another seal of larger
size has been recently purchased, and forms an object
of great attraction.

The Society have also received some interesting
animals as gifts—a full list of which is appended to
this report—amongst which the Council would parti-
cularly acknowledge two fine Boa Constrictors, pre-
sented by Surgeon Greer, 21st Fusileers; two Dog-
headed Boas, presented by M. Brown, Esq.; three
King Crabs, presented by Mr. Graves, of Liverpool;
three Demoiselle Cranes, and a Ruddy Sheldrake,
presented by Mr. ALEXANDER M‘DoNNELL; and a very
fine Wapiti Deer, the gift of Lord PowErscourt.

From the Treasurer’s account it will appear that a
considerable sum was expended on buildings. The
Council, although most unwilling to incur expenses
which there were not funds in hands to meet, could no
longer defer repairs of several of the buildings, which
were in so dilapidated a condition as to endanger the
health of the animals contained in them, some of which
were of considerable value. It was also necessary to
provide the requisite accommodation for a Rhinoceros,
and, it is hoped, an Elephant, kindly procured for the
Society by Sir CHartes Trevetyan, K.C.B., and
shortly expected to arrive in this country ; and this, it
was found, could most economically and effectually be
done by altering, and at the same time re-roofing, the
Albert tower, originally built for a Giraffe.

—

LD

These alterations have considerably increased the
expenditure of the past year, but owing to the com-
pleteness of the repairs, a smaller sum will be required
for maintenance of the buildings for some years to
come.

In the course of last summer the attention of the
Council was directed to the “ Report of the Treasury
Commission appointed to inquire into the Royal Dublin
Society, Museum of Irish Industry, Royal Hibernian
Academy, Royal Irish Academy, and the System of
Scientific Instruction in Ireland,” and in consequence
of some of the recommendations contained in that
Report, your Council felt it necessary for the indepen-
dence of the Royal Zoological Society, to represent
that power should not be given to the Royal Dublin
Society of exercising any control over the proceedings
of the Zoological Society, and for that purpose Reso.
lutions were adopted at a Meeting of the Council, held
July 18th, 1863, and the statement embodying those
Resolutions, a copy of which is appended to this
Report (vide Appendix A), was forwarded to the
proper authorities. It is only due, however, to the
Royal Dublin Society to state, that the proposal to
exercise a supervision over the Royal Zoological
Society did not come from the Royal Dublin Society.

The Council have much gratification in announcing
that the Lords of the Treasury have at length
granted to the Society the ground on the opposite side
of the lake, which for many years was anxiously sought
for by the Society, and without which the original
design of the Gardens was incomplete. The grant
was accompanied by the condition that a boundary

16

fence of a peculiar construction should be erected. As
the Society had no funds available for such a purpose,
the Council issued a Circular (wide Appendix B#)
asking for subscriptions, to enable them to enclose the
ground in the manner required. They thankfully ac-
knowledge that several persons have liberally responded
to this appeal. Nearly half the sum required, including
a liberal donationfrom Her Majesty, has been subscribed,
and they entreat the co-operation of all the Members ~
of the Society to obtain the balance still required.
When this shall have been accomplished, and the lake
enclosed, the Council believe that the Society will
possess a Garden of singular beauty, and a collection
of animals well selected and attractive ; but they
cannot too strongly urge on the Society that it will
be difficult, if not impossible, to maintain the collection
at present in their possession, unless a larger amount
of support is given by the public ; and they earnestly
request that every Member will endeavour to make
others better acquainted with the aim and objects
of the Society, and thus, by increasing the number
of subscribers, enlarge its means of doing good.

Mr. James Haveuton moved and Mr. J. Lawtor seconded the
adoption of the Report.

Mr. James Haveuron inquired why it was that allusion to
the conduct of the public in their visits to the garden was omitted
in the Report. He was afraid that silence on the subject might
be construed into something like there being cause for complaint.

The Presipent said, that it had been customary for them to
speak of the good behaviour of the public in their visit to the
gardens in the Annual Reports. It had, however, been omitted

17

in that of the previous year, and they regarded it as quite super-
fluous to introduce it in the Report before them. It was, to his
mind, paying but a poor compliment to the citizens to say that
they behaved themselves.

The Report was then passed unanimously.

The Prestwent said he had to acknowledge the kindness of the
Zoological Society of London, inasmuch as they had not only
taken care of and forwarded animals consigned to them from
foreign places, but had also made the Society some valuable
presents.

On the motion of ALpERMAN ATKINSON, seconded by Dr.
IRELAND, a vote of thanks was unanimously passed to the
Zoological Society of London.

On the motion of Dr. Benson, seconded by Dr. Horroy, the
following gentlemen were unanimously elected Honorary Mem-
bers of the Society :—Sir Charles Trevelyan, K.C.B.; Sir John
Young, Bart., K.C.B.; and S. R. Graves, Esq., Liverpool.

The thanks of the Society was returned to Surgeon Greer,
Lord Powerscourt, and Messrs. Graves and M‘Donnell, for their
valuable presents to the Society.

Mr. Havauron inquired if they expected any animals to be
added to those they at present possess ?

The Presipent said there were four brush turkeys. These were
very singular birds, and their mode of hatching the young ones
exceedingly curious. The birds were merely supplied with a
quantity of grass and rotten leaves. This they piled in a heap,
until it was about the size of a very small haycock. This is
allowed to remain untouched for a week, when a process of
fermentation goes on, which creates a great heat. A hole is
then made, and the eggs laid in it, and carefully covered up.
Every morning the male bird uncovers the eggs, and exposes
them to the heat of the sun, and then covers them up again at
night. At the proper time the young one is hatched, and im-
mediately sallies forth altogether independent of the parent
birds. A singular fact also was, that it had been found impos-
sible to hatch those eggs by incubation or under any other bird.
There were several other animals presented them, the names of
which he did not then remember.

18

Dr. Irvine stated that a lady had promised them £50 when
£350 had been collected.

Dr. Kennepy asked what had been done with regard to rais-
ing the £400, and making the necessary fencing alluded to in the
report, and also if they intended throwing a bridge across the
lake ?

The Preswent said they had invited estimates and plans from
several parties as regarded the wire fencing. With respect to
the bridge, however desirable it might be to have such, he was
afraid their finances would not admit of the expense.

Dr. Haucuton adverted to the increased expense incurred in
the feeding of the animals, and thought that the attention of the
public should be directed to the fact, and their subscriptions
solicited. There had been, he regretted to say, a great falling
off in the amount of subscriptions, and he thought it only re-
quired an effort to be made to obtain sufficient funds for the
purposes of the Society.

At five o’Clock, pursuant to the by-law of the Society, the
ballot for the Council for the ensuing year closed, and the follow-
ing were declared elected :—

President— Viscount Powerscourt. Vice-Presidents—R. Call-
well, M.R.I.A.; W. R. LeFanu, C.E.; Major-General Sir Thomas
Larcom, K.C.B.; J. W. Murland, Esq.; R. Templeton, M.D.,
Deputy Inspector-General. Secretaries—Professor M‘Dowel,
M.D.; Rev. 8. Haughton, M.D., F.R.S. Zreasurer—Gilbert

M.A., F.R.S. ; John Lentaigne, D.L. ; J. A. Lyle, Esq.; Robert

the Royal Zoological Society, occurs :—

“The Annual Grant to the Zoological Society is voted in the
“estimate of the Royal Dublin Society; but besides acting as
‘the channel for its payment, that Society does not exercise any
“interference with regard to it. Some advantage would be
“ gained if all the Parliamentary Grants in aid of Science and
“‘ Art at Dublin were in like manner included in the estimate of
“the Royal Dublin Society, and were paid through its medium,
‘inasmuch as they would then be annually brought under con-

_ “sideration in one point of view, and the Council of the Royal
“Dublin Society would have an opportunity of making any re-
“presentation which the circumstances of the time might render
“proper in reference to them. Beyond this we cannot advise
‘that the Royal Dublin Society should be vested with any con-
“trol over the proceedings of other Societies.” Vide pp. 33, 34.

36

The Report further goes on to observe upon the benefits that
would be likely to arise from an “ affiliation” of other Societies
to the Royal Dublin Society.

The paragraph above quoted proposes to give a power (not
hitherto possessed by it) to the Council of the Royal Dublin
Society of commenting upon or making representations upon the
management or proceedings of the Royal Zoological Society,
and therefore exercising a certain control over it.

ResoLvep—That in the view here put forward by the Com-
missioners the Council of the Royal Zoological Society cannot
concur, and for the following reasons:

1st.—The Royal Zoological Society was founded in the year
1831, altogether by private voluntary donations and subscrip-
tions, without any aid from, or any connexion with any other
society.

2nd.—It has been always managed, and is still managed by a
Council elected annually by the Members at large, to whom the
Council make an annual report, and the Council cannot admit
the competency or right of the Council of the Royal Dublin
Society to “make any representation” upon its affairs.

3rd.—In the year 1854, twenty-second year after its founda-
tion, the Government, impressed with the good management and
usefulness of the Society, conferred on it an annual grant of
£500, which, for the convenience of official management, has
been and is paid through the agency of the Royal Dublin Society.
This arrangement for financial convenience appears, however, to
the Council, to be no more a reason for giving any control over
its proceedings to the Council of the Royal Dublin Society than
it would be for giving a supervision over the Zoological Society
to the Directors of the Bank of Ireland, if the Bank were made
the medium of paying its annual grant. Moreover, in the minute
of the Board of Trade announcing the grant in aid, the perfect
independence of the Royal Zoological Society was provided for,
in compliance with the representation of the Council of the
Zoological Society. The minute of the Board of Trade of 11th
April, 1854, observes, ‘‘ My Lords will recommend that an aid
be given to the Gardens of the Royal Zoological Society through
the agency of the Royal Dublin Society, if that body will accept

37

the trust * * * the sum in aid is not to be considered as
im any way dispensing with the separate existence of the
Zoological Society, but it would imply that this Society should
send its account for audit, and report its proceedings to Parlia-
ment, through the Dublin Society.”

The Report of the Commissioners now under consideration
goes much further, for it proposes that the Council of the Royal
Dublin Society should be empowered to make any representation
which they from time to time might think proper as to the affairs
or management of the Royal Zoological Society, and it is this
new power now proposed to be given to the Council of the Royal
Dublin Society to which the Council of the Royal Zoological
Society objects.

Ath.—The Council of the Royal Zoological Society are of opin-
ion that any “ affiliation ” of the Royal Zoological Society to the
Royal Dublin Society as “a point of union” with the new power
proposed to be given to its Council, instead of leading to harmo-
nious co-operation, as would seem to be anticipated, would be
more likely to engender dissensions and lead to collision between
two bodies that have hitherto worked so well in their indepen-
dent existence.

The views of the two Councils might at any time clash, and
the two Councils were in fact for a considerable period in oppo-
sition to one another on a most important principle—the admission
of the public to their respective Gardens on Sundays. The
Zoological Society has admitted the public since the year 1840,
a period of more than 20 years, while the Royal Dublin Society
has only admitted them within the last two years. It is obvious
that if the proceedings of the Zoological Society had been at any
time during that period liable to be controlled in any way by
Reports from the Council of the Dublin Society, its action in
setting the precedent of the admission of the public on Sundays,
a measure that is now acknowledged to have been attended with
much benefit, might have been seriously interfered with.

5th.—Neither the Council nor any person on the part of the
Zoological Society conveyed to the Commissioners any desire to
have the present relation of the two Societies remodelled, nor did
the Commissioners examine any member of the Zoological
Society on the subject.

38

6th.—The Commissioners in their report (p. 33) acknowledge
that ‘‘ The Royal Zoological Society is a well-managed Society,
that contributes in a high degree to the instruction and amuse-
ment of the public,” thus furnishing in the Report a good reason
for leaving its management untouched. It is, moreover, scarcely
to be expected that gentlemen who have given their time and
attention to the Zoological Society, would continue to do so if
their independence and freedom of action are to be interfered
with, or their proceedings made subject to the control or com-
ments of any other Society.

In conclusion, the Council have to observe that their only
desire is, that their present relations with the Royal Dublin
Society should remain as they have existed for the last nine
years, leaving to mutual and voluntary arrangements such co-
operation as may at any time appear desirable, but not otherwise
giving to either Council or Society opportunity or power to con-
trol or comment upon the proceedings of the other; and the
Council of the Zoological Society feel convinced that such
independence of action will maintain a laudable rivalry in
respectively working for the advantage of the public in both
institutions, that would languish or cease to exist under the pro-
posed system of “affiliation” or subordination of one society
to the other.

ResotveD—That the President be requested to forward a copy
of the above minute and resolution of Council of Royal Zoo-
logical Society to His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, soliciting
his Excellency’s consideration and support.

REsoLvED—That copies of the foregoing minute and resolu-
tions be forwarded to the Lords of the Treasury, to the Com-
mittee of Council for the Department of Science and Art, and
to the Council of the Royal Dublin Society.

APPENDEX 3B.

Royal Zoological Society of Ireland.

MAY, 1864.

When the Royal Zoological Society of Ireland was founded
in the year 1832, Decmus Burton drew up a report, on instruc-
tions from Government, as to a site for the Gardens in the
Phenix Park. He recommended the present site, including the
pond and the opposite bank. The following is an extract from
his report :—

“Tt will also be obvious, that to render the water of practical benefit
to the Society, it should be enclosed within the boundary. The best mode
of obtaining this object would be for the Society to obtain, if possible, a
grant of the opposite bank, extending to the road which leads to the Vice-
regal Lodge. This also would be desirable on other points. The land
on each bank might then be laid out with plantations, walks, and
buildings, designed in such manner as materially to add to the beauty of
the view from either side of the lake, and certainly the general effect of
the valley, as seen from the Park, would be greatly improved. Impressed
with the idea, that one day or other, an arrangement will be made by
which these extensions of the site will take place, I have been induced to
prepare the accompanying design, in which they are comprised.”

Year after year, each succeeding Council was more and more
impressed with the truth of Decimus Burton’s observation, that
‘the water should be enclosed within the boundary” of the
Gardens. The waterfowl, the greatest ornaments of the gardens,
strayed, and were stolen or killed; and the deer crossing, by
swimming at night, trampled down the flower beds, and barked
or cropped the shrubs, often destroying in a single night,
valuable plants the growth of years. The opposite bank became
each year more freyuented by persons who amused themselves

40

by hunting the islands and covers with terriers, and otherwise
disturbing the birds; and to such an extent has the annoyance
increased, that in the past year not a single water bird has been
permitted to hatch its eggs and rear its young.

Almost every year, each succeeding Council pressed upon
official authorities the necessity for completion of the original
design of the Gardens, but various delays and difficulties arose,
among which may be enumerated the famine and succeeding
years, when more sad and serious topics occupied men’s minds—
the change of governments—the change of law in respect of
the management of the Phenix Park, and the official delays
that are necessarily connected with the consideration of such
subjects.

Those delays and difficulties have, however, now terminated,
and the Lords of the Treasury, through the Board of Works,
have communicated to the Council of the Society, that they
have granted to the Society the opposite bank of the lake,
according to a certain boundary, on condition of the fence being
of a light open construction.

This meets the view of the Council, as well as of the
Treasury.

The Council are desirous of putting up such a light wire
fence as will be sufficient to protect the waterfowl and not im-
pede the view, and by appropriating the enclosed bank to the
smaller Kangaroo tribe, and to the smaller kinds of Antelopes,
Deer, Indian Cows, and Llamas, they hope, as Burron’s report
anticipated, ‘that the general effect of the Valley, as seen from
the Park, will be greatly improved;” in like manner as a
similar arrangement has added so much to the attractions of
the Bois de Boulogne in Paris.

The Council of the Zoological Society, moreover, seek in this
proposed addition a higher result than merely increased attrac-
tion in scenery or animals. The importance of adding to our
animal kingdom as to our vegetable, such stocks as may be
useful to man for food, as well as for other purposes in our
social economy, is now fully recognized, and the Council hope,
that with the water protected, and the additional ground en-
closed, the Zoological Society will also become an Acclimatation

41

Society, to introduce and extend through the country new
varieties of animals, but particularly of waterfowl, which
furnish so vast a proportion of food and luxuries to man,
without encroaching on the domains of the other divisions of
the animal kingdom, or on the food of man.

Laying these views before you, the Council ask for your sub-
scription towards the erection of the Boundary Fence. They
have no fund whatever, available for the purpose. All the
funds at their command are scarcely sufficient for the present
maintenance of the Gardens.

There is one other consideration on which the Council would
ask for your support.

From the foundation of the Zoological Society to the present
time, a period of thirty-two years, its successive Councils, have
kept in view as their foremost object, the intellectual recreation
and instruction of the working classes. They were the first in
the United Kingdom to open their Gardens on Sundays after
the hour of Divine Service, to win those classes from the bad
air of cities and destructive neighbourhood of whiskey and gin
shops, to pure air and purer enjoyments, and in addition, on
every week day in summer, the Gardens are open from 6 o’clock
to dusk, at a rate accessible to all—one penny; while, still
further, the children from all public Charitable Institutions are
admitted gratis, in charge of their teachers.

A sum of at least four hundred pounds will be required for
the proposed improvement.

Your contribution is solicited, and as soon as convenient.
The Council will not commence the undertaking until they feel
assured they can command success.

The Members of the Council, the Honorary Secretaries, Mr.
Montcomery, Secretary, will receive subscriptions; and the
Superintendent, Mr. Baruo, at the Gardens, is also authorised to
receive Subscriptions and give receipts.

12

and from 1855 to 1864, it will be found that th.
following average yearly sums were obtained from
admissions to the Gardens, and from Members’ Sub-
scriptions.

Admissions. Subscriptions.
1. First period (nine years) £959 £573
2. Second period (fourteen years) 648 336
3. Third period (ten years) 827 245

The first of these periods corresponds with the time
when the uniform admission fee to the Gardens was
sixpence ; and the third period is that, during which
the Society has enjoyed the National Grant of £500
per annum.

The financial condition of the Society has engaged
the anxious attention of your Council during the past
year, and shortly before Christmas, 1864, it was felt
to be impossible, with honour, to postpone any longer
the payment of certain bills due, amounting to
£304 19s. 9d. Your Council felt reluctant to make
a renewed appeal to the liberality of the general
public, which had contributed already so promptly to
the special appeal of the Fence Fund Committee, and
they accordingly adopted, in preference, the following
_ Resolution at a Special Meeting convened to consider
the financial position of the Society, on the 24th of
December, 1864 :—

“That each Member of Council advance £12 to enable the
Council to pay off the above debt of £304 19s. 9d.; such con-
tribution to be a loan to the Society, to be paid off as soon as
possible.”

This Resolution was responded to by 21 Members
of Council, who have thus become Creditors to the

Society, to the extent of £252. In addition to this
loan, the Council received Donations to the amount
of £52 5s., as set forth in the following list, which
raised the Special Fund to £304 5s., with which the
liabilities referred to above, were discharged.

Shortly afterwards the following circular was issued
to the Members of the Society, in order to induce
them to exert themselves to procure additional Mem-
bers, and has already produced the gratifying effect
of adding eighty-one new Members, and five Garden
Subscribers to the lists of the Society :—

The President and Council desire to draw your attention to
the following :—

The Council have incurred a large debt, £700, in their efforts
to maintain the Gardens,

In the year 1839, the Council were obliged to sell all the
Carnivora, in consequence of their inability to maintain them.

14

The cost of maintenance of the Carnivora may be appreciated
from the following Table :—

Annual Cost of maintenance of a Lion, £66
3 Tiger, £66
as Leopard, £12
“ Jaguar, £12
3 Hyena £12
29 Polar Bear, £26

Black Bear, £16
Seal, £50

Loud complaints were then made, and assurances were given,
that if the larger Carnivora, viz., Lions, Tigers, Leopards, &c.,
were replaced, public support would be cheerfully and freely
given.

The Council replaced the Carnivora at very great cost. They
have obtained in addition, as a gift, from Colonel MonrcomeEry,
two magnificent Royal Bengal Tigers, the freight and feeding of
which, from Calcutta home, amounted to £160; and with the
kind aid of Sir C. Trevetyan, K.C.B., a fine young Rhinoceros,
for £165, purchase and freight included. The cost of a pair of
Royal Bengal Tigers in ordinary course is about £500, and of a
Rhinoceros not less than £400.

The President and Council regret to be obliged to state that
they have not been supported in their efforts by the Public, as :
they had a right to expect, and there now hangs over the Society
a debt of £700, resulting from the purchase of animals, the
building of houses, and the cost of maintenance.

The amount of Subscriptions received during the past year
amounts only to £217.

Under these circumstances the President and Council request
your early payment of subscription, now due, for 1865, and
they, moreover, earnestly ask you to use your exertions and
influence to increase the number of Members. They ask you to
obtain at least two. If each member will kindly do this, the
sum of £400 may be added to the funds, which will enable the
Council to maintain the Gardens in their present efficient state.
Otherwise the Council, disappointed in the assurances of support

15

on which they had relied, must again do as they were before
obliged to do, sell their whole stock of Carnivora, which are
very expensive to purchase and to maintain.

The Council, in order to pay off immediately the most pressing
portion of the present debt, have incurred a personal responsi-
bility to the amount of £300, but it cannot be expected that the
Council will continue to remain under this responsibility.

It is to be observed that the regulations of these Gardens are
more liberal than those of any other gardens in Europe.

At the Zoological Gardens, Regent’s Park, London, the price
of admission is one shilling, none but members and persons on
members’ orders being admitted on Sundays, and the lowest
annual subscription is £3.

At the Jardin d’Acclimatation in Paris, the lowest rate of ad-
mission is one franc. In Antwerp, residents of the city are not
admitted at all on payment at the entrance, on the principle that
all residents should be subscribers. The lowest rate of admis-
sion to strangers is one franc, the Gardens being opened on two
or three fete days only in the year, to the working classes gra-
tuitously.

The following are the liberal regulations of the Gardens for
which your support is now requested :—

“The Gardens are open to the public each week day, from
nine o’clock in the morning, and on Sundays from two
o’clock in the afternoon until sunset.

“ Admission to Non-subscribers, on week days, sixpence ; on
Sundays after two o’clock, one penny.

“Members and Garden Subscribers have free admission for
themselves and two companions, and for their children
under twelve years of age. Wives of Members and Gar-
den Subscribers have same privileges in absence of their
husbands; and governesses or other female residents
in a Member’s or Subscriber’s house, are admitted with
his children, on a card supplied by the Assistant Secretary
on application.”

Trusting to your kind and prompt compliance with the present

16

request of the President and Council, we have the honour to
remain,
BENJAMIN M‘DOWEL,
SAMUEL HAUGHTON,
31st December, 1864.
P.S.—Please to forward to “The Honorary Secretaries, Royal
Zoological Society, Phenix Park,” the names and addresses of
such of your friends as may desire to become Members.

It appears from Appendix A, that the total gain to
the Society, during the year, of Members and Garden

Subscribers, has been—

Your Council have received the following report
from the Fence Fund Committee, from which it ap-
pears that £437 6s. were received in subscriptions,
and that the entire fence has been completed and
paid for, with the exception of about £20.

COPY OF MR. MURLAND’S LETTER.
25, Fitzwilliam-square,
“ Dear Sir, * 8th April, 1865.
‘“*T beg to report to the Council of the Zoological Society,

that the amount received by Dr. Lyons and myself, as Trea-
surers of the ‘ Fence Fund,’ was as follows :—

“‘ which we propose to hand over to the Zoological Society, and
then there are two subscriptions amounting to £3 still unpaid.
“We have further to report that Messrs. Kennan have been
paid in full for the Fence, but that €34 remain due to them for
the Turnstyle.
“Yours faithfully,

* Signed, JAMES W. MURLAND.

“R. J. Montcomery, Esq., Sec.,
** Zoological Gardens.”

The liabilities of the Society, exclusive of £252,
due to 21 members of Council, are now reduced to
£102 17s., which it is hoped that a further acces-
sion of new Members will enable the Council to dis.
charge shortly.

The attention of the Council has been also directed
to the subject of a wise economy in the purchase of
provisions and other details of the management of the
Gardens. This has resulted in a considerable reduc-
tion of the weekly expenditure on food and wages,
without any diminution in the substantial comforts of
the animals under their care.

Appendix 6 contains the names of Animals pur-
chased, presented, and born in the Gardens, during the
past year.

It is right that the thanks of the Society should be
formally conveyed to the London Zoological Society,
the Acclimatisation Society, Sir John Young, Viscount
Bangor, Dr. Parvin, Mr. Eustace Smith, Mr. S. R.
Graves, and the other gentlemen to whose liberality we
are so largely indebted.

Appendix C contains the list of the animals
B

i8

lost by death or sold during the year, on which a few
remarks may be made.

It may be observed in general, that the great mor-
tality among the Quadrumans is not occasioned by
tuberculous disease, but by defective conditions of food
and ventilation, which are not capable of remedy
without a larger expenditure of money than the finan-
cial condition of the Society at present warrants. In
spring and summer all these animals should be placed
out of doors, and in winter accommodated with com-
fortable quarters in well-ventilated houses. Neither
of these objects can be attained without a considerable
outlay of money.

The lamentable deaths of the Cob and Pen Swans
and their brood of Cygnets, were occasioned by dogs
that formerly had free access to the Society’s lake
from its open side; and one of the most important
advantages gained from the enclosure of this pond is
the security with which the water-fow! may in future
disport themselves and rear their progeny in peace.

The King Crabs died of ulcerations of the gills,
which appeared to be caused by some unknown defi-
ciency in the due supply of aerated water to those
organs, owing to causes difficult of removal in the
case of such rare crustaceans living in an artificial
estate.

The handsome pigtailed Macaque died of tubercu-
lous disease.

The Otter, Monk Vulture, and famous Goat of
Lambay, died of sheer old age, having amused the
visiters to the Gardens for many years.

‘The unexpected death of the young Rhinoceros,

— =<.

19

after a residence of only eight months in the Gardens,
has inflicted a heavy blow on the Society. He appears
to have been in delicate health on his arrival, having
suffered from fits of convulsions, the cause of which
may have been the tapeworms, found after death.
He died on the 6th April, after an illness of only twelve
hours’ duration, every effort of veterinary skill having
proved insuflicient to save his life.

The foregoing Report was adopted—

Mr. J. B. Jokes, in the absence of the Treasurer, read and
moved the adoption of the Treasurer’s Account sheet for the
year, which was adopted by the Meeting.

Dr. Corrican then proposed, and Rev. Professor HauGnton
seconded, the following changes in the Bye-Laws, which were
adopted by the Meeting :-—

“ That the words ‘of Council’ be inserted after ‘Member,’ in chap. IL.,
sect. I., line 2.

“That all the words following the words ‘ Ten Pounds,’ in chap. II.,
sect. 3, be omitted.”

The Ballot having been closed, the Council List proposed
by the retiring Council was declared duly elected.

Rey. Professor Haucuton, and Mr. J. B. Juxes, having
moved and seconded a resolution that Dr. Corrican do take the
chair; the thanks of the meeting were voted to Viscount
Powerscourt, President of the Society.

His Lordship having responded, the Meeting was adjourned.

ROYAL ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY

OF IRELAND.

The Thirty-sixth Annual Meeting of the Society was held in
the Hall of the College of Physicians, on the 14th January, 1868,

W. J. Muruanp, Esq., V.P., in the Chair.

The Rev. S. Haveuton, M.D., Secretary, read the following
Report of Council, which was unanimously adopted :—

Report of Council,

The Council of the Royal Zoological Society of
Ireland present to the Members of the Society the
following Report, for the year just ended, 3lst De-
cember, 1867.

During the year the number of visiters to the
Gardens, and the receipts at the entrance gate, were
as follows :—

1. Members, goer nso. 096
2. Public Schools, Cae yas
3. Visiters at Sixpence, pAen997 £610) 12 0
4, Visiters at One Penny, 95,187 ... 396 8 1

Total, ee» 125,010 £1,006 19 1

12

During the preceding year, ended 31st December,
1866, the corresponding numbers were :—

1. Members, re cere als,

2. Public Schools, eae 933

3. Visiters at Sixpence, 15,982 ... £399 11 0

4. Visiters at One Penny, 90,958 ... 878 19 10
Total, Baga Bi gss £778 10 10

A comparison of the foregoing numbers for the two
years exhibits the gratifying fact of an increase of
53 per cent. in the numbers of the sixpenny visiters,
and of 4 per cent. in the numbers of the penny
visiters.

This important fact, in the opinion of your Council,
fully justifies the policy steadily followed by them for
some years, of increasing the attractions of the Gardens
for the benefit of the classes of the community capable
of appreciating the improvements made.

The Council are happy to be able to report that
their stock of animals is greatly increased in number,
and that they are all in excellent health. During
the year a splendid pair of African Ostriches has been
added, by purchase, to the collection; and three
American Rheas have been presented to the Society
by Dr. Hearty, of Buenos Ayres. The detailed list of
other purchases and donations will be found in Appen-
dix II., among which may be specially mentioned—

One pair of Egyptian Pelicans.
One pair of Condor Vultures.
One pair of Indian Leopards.
One pair of African Storks.
Three Patagonian Guanachos.

The last-named beautiful Guanachos were presented to

OO —— a ee

13

the Society by the Earl of Clarendon, and the expenses
of their carriage from London were defrayed by the
liberality of your President, Viscount Powerscourt.

In compliance with suggestions made by several
Members at the last meeting of the Society, the
Donations to the Gardens (nineteen in number), have
been regularly noticed in the public press, so that
Members of the Society can now learn the names of
the several additions to their stock, previous to visit-
ing the newly arrived animals in the Gardens.

On the 16th June last, your fertile Lioness presented
the Society with five cubs, having already produced
four others some eight months previously, and it is
confidently expected that she will present us with
another donation early in the coming year.

Your Council have much pleasure in recalling to
the recollection of the Society, their unprecedented
success in breeding Lions during the past nine years,
as shown by the following list of healthy cubs born in
your Gardens :—

1. 20th September, 1858
. 8th September, 1859

The money value of this splendid stock shortly after
birth cannot be estimated at less than £1,500.

During the year the Society received from the
Department of Science and Art the sum of £1,047 10s.,
of which sum £450 were expended on the romps
of the New Monkey House, Engine House, Water
Pipes, and Bear’s Cage, with tank attached; and
£500 were expended on the construction of the
Superintendent’s House, now nearly completed.

Plans and estimates for the construction of a new
Aquarium House, and for an addition to the Carnivore
House, have been forwarded by your Council, for the
consideration and approval of the Department of
Science and Art, in South Kensington. The amount
of the estimates for these additions to the Gardens is
as follows :—

1. Aquarium House ao wv) (S682) -8 08
2. Carnivore House ch x 363 0 0
Total vec 045 a8,

The financial position of the Society is shown by
the Treasurer’s account, which has been duly audited,
and forms Appendix I. to this Report. In conse.
quence of the necessity of meeting some trade bills of
considerable standing, your Council raised, during
the year, among themselves, a loan to the Society of
£240, which will be paid off by monthly instalments
of £10, commencing on Ist May, 1868. Your
Council believed this course to be preferable to the
other alternatives that presented themselves—either
selling off a portion of your valuable stock of animals,
or making an appeal, in forma pauperis, to the public
for aid.

ah eo a, he

15

By the financial operation just alluded to, twenty-
four members of Council have become the creditors
of the Society, instead of four or five tradesmen, who
could ill afford to remain unpaid, after their work
had been completed and delivered, to the satisfaction
of the Council.

Your Council regret to have received during the
year the resignation of Dr. M‘Dowet, who filled for
some years the office of Secretary to the Society, and
whose constant interest in the Gardens and the animals
contained in them, are well known to all who take
a part in their management.

The Council recommend fer the consideration of
the Society, the two following alterations in the
By-Laws :—

I.—* That there shall be only one Secretary elected annually.”

II.—*“ That during frost the Council shall have power to
suspend all privileges of Members and Garden Subscribers,

except that of personal admission, and to vary as may seem fit
to them the rates of admission to the Public.”

In the Appendix to this Report will be found—

I.—Statement of Accounts for the year ended 31st December,
1867.

II.—List of Donations for the year 1867.

ROYAL ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY
OF IRELAND.

PLELPLDAL LLP

Tue Thirty-eighth Annual Meeting of the Royat Zootoatcar
Society or Irrianp, was held in the Hall of the College of

Physicians, on Tuesday, 11th January, 1870.

Dr. Bayxs, President of the King and Queen’s College of
Physicians, in the Chair.

The Rev. Dr. Havauron, Secretary, read the following
Report of Council, which was unanimously adopted :—

— Report of Council,

During the year 1869 the number of visiters
to the Gardens, and the receipts at the entrance
gate, were as follows :—

. Members ee Dallas vase

2. Public Schools... 2,489 ...

3. Visiters at Sixpence 24,448 ... £611 4 0
4. Visiters at One Penny 103,624 ... 48115 4
5. Schools at Three Pence DOD ese 8 9 0
6. Visiters on Tickets AMOR ccs

Total iy Chee h00.069. L046 Sar 4

During the year preceding (1868) the corres-
ponding numbers were :—

1. Members ro 4,129

2. Public Schools’... 1,859

3. Visiters at Sixpence 20,866 ... £521 13. 0

4, Visiters at One Penny 100,146 ... 417 5 6
Total Bas Ge eT O00 £938 18 6

The total amount of subscriptions received in
the year 1869, was £369; while that received
in 1868 was £343 ; shewing an increase of £26.

In the Animal Provision Account a sum of
£829 4s. 6d. has been expended, which is £59
less than that expended last year, although the
animals have been equally well fed and cared for.
The chief credit of this economy is due to the
exertions and constant supervision of your Super-
intendent, Mr. Epwarp Carrer.

The following Table, shewing the numbers of
visiters each year, from the foundation of the
Gardens in 1832, will interest the numerous friends
of the Society.

1856 Bs 122,518 1869 =! 136,052

The relative proportions of various kinds of
Animals kept in the Gardens from time to time,
may be seen from the following Table of Stock of
Mammals, Birds, and Reptiles, taken in various
years.

Year. Mammals, Birds. Reptiles. | Total,
1833) | 64 73 | 2 139
1834 76 128 4 208
1838 | - al 135 a 216
1862 | 58 162 8 223
1869 143 219 25 387

From the foregoing Table, it is evident that
the number of Animals exhibited in the Gardens
has been continually increasing, and that they
now offer to visiters a much greater opportunity for
study and observation, than at any previous period.

The new Carnivore House has been stocked
with Lions, Leopards, and Pumas during the course

14

of the year, and proves admirably adapted to the
purposes for which it was intended. In point of
light, air, and warmth, it rivals the old Carnivore
House, placed beside it, and which has proved so
successful.

The new Aquarium also was opened during the
course of the past year by their Excellencies the
Lord Lieutenant and the Countess Spencer, to
whom the Council desire to express their best
thanks for the kind interest they have constantly
shown in the prosperity of the Gardens.

The best thanks of the Society are also due to
the Corporation of the City of Dublin, for the
liberality they have displayed in furnishing an
abundant supply of pure water from the Vartry
for the use of the Animals in the Gardens.

The arrangements made by the Council for
the filtering of the sea water supplied to the new
Aquarium are now completed, and when the
return of Spring shall enable the Council to stock
the sea water tanks with Fish and Zoophytes from
Dalkey and Howth, it is expected that the
Aquarium of the Dublin Gardens will yield to
none in Europe, in the variety and beauty of its
interesting inhabitants.

Through the kindness and liberality of his
Excellency the Earl of Mayo, Governor-General
of India, a fine Elephant, named ‘‘ Marksman,”
6 years old, and measuring 5 ft. 10in. high, was
shipped, asa present to the Dublin Gardens, from

15

Calcutta, on the 22nd March last. This fine
animal, whose native name was “ Beharee Loll,”
was captured on the 7th January, 1868, in the
Surrundur Jungles, in the Maughur Ghattee
District, in the Tributary Mehals, with a herd of
fifty-six, by the late Cuttack Khedda Establish-
ment.

The herd, consisting of fifty-six elephants, was
discovered in the above-named jungles on the 31st
December,1867,and the whole herd wascaptured on
the 7th January, 1868. Marksman’s mother was
captured with the herd, and by her side she had
a calf one year old. Both mother and calf died
shortly after their capture, and poor ‘‘ Marksman”
himself died also on his passage to England, about
one month after leaving Calcutta, in the good ship
“ Carlisle Castle.”

Your Council deeply regret his loss, but feel
that their obligations to the Earl of Mayo, the
Trish Viceroy of India, are as great as if his kind
intentions towards the Dublin Zoological Gardens
had been completely fulfilled.

Scientific Evening Meetings were held during
the year (in March, June, and December), in con-
junction with the Royal Geological Society of
Ireland. These meetings were largely attended
by the members of both Societies, and it is pro-
posed to continue them in the corresponding
months of the coming year.

16

At these meetings papers were read and dis-
cussed on the following Zoological subjects :—

1. On the Breeding of the Large Carnivores in Confinement.

2. On the Muscular Anatomy of the Three-toed Sloth and
Banded Armadillo.

3. On the Breeding of the Cereopsis Goose in the Dublin
Zoological Gardens.

4. On the Muscular Anatomy of the Marsupials.

. On the Arrangement and Uses of the Tendons‘of the Hand

and Foot in various Mammals, Birds, and Reptiles.

Or

The materials used in the preparation of these
papers were chiefly provided by the animals,
living or dead, of the Gardens of the Society;
and your Council confidently expect, from a
continuance of these Scientific Meetings, a con-
siderable development of the Scientific uses of
your Zoological Gardens in aid of the study of
Comparative Anatomy, which has been of late
years too much neglected in Dublin.

ROYAL ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY
OF IRELAND.

The Fortieth Annual Meeting of the Royat Zoonoatcan
Society or InrLanp was held in the Hall of the College of
Physicians, on Tuesday, 9th January, 1872,

Dr. Bangs in the Chair.

The Rev. Dr. Haveuron, Secretary, read the following

The experiment of having weekly Promenades

14

during the months of May, June, and July, which
was tried first in 1869, was continued during the
past two years. These Promenades have
increased the attractions of the Gardens to
Members and Subscribers, while they have not
been accompanied by any financial loss to the
funds of the Society.

The numbers of members and visiters on the
Promenade days of each year were as follows:—

Year. Members. Visiters. Total. Receipts.

1369 902 2,946 3,848 £73 13 10
1870 986 3,633 4,619 ee Be
1871 | 2,030 4,193 6,223 104 16 6

The success of the Promenade meetings called
the attention of your Council to the necessity of
forming a main central walk through the grounds,
and the liberality of a Member of the Council
has enabled them to announce that the portion
of this main walk, from the new Monkey House
to the Elephant House, will be completed in
February next, without any cost to the Society.

The receipts for admission to the Gardens dur-
ing the year are in excess of those during the
year 1870 (deducting the admissions due to the
presence of ice), by about £120, showing that
the public have appreciated the efforts of the

15

Council to increase the attractions of the Gardens
by the addition of new animals.

During the year the Gardens unfortunately
were deprived of a source of income from the
sale of animals, by the death of ten Lion cubs,
of whom four died of fever, and six died from
failure of their mother’s milk.

The following comparison of the numbers and
cost of feeding of the Carnivores in 1865 and
1871 will show the care bestowed on the economy
of the Gardens ; the chief credit of which is due
to the diligent attention of our Superintendent,
Mr. Edward Carter :—

The cost per week of feeding these animals
was £5 14s. 9d. in September, 1865, and only
£4 19s. in September, 1871, notwithstanding the
increase in the number of animals and cost of

food.

16

Evening scientific meetings of the Society were
held in March, June, and December, in conjunc-
tion with the Royal Geological Society of Ireland,
and were largely attended by the members of
both Societies.

The following papers were read and discussed
at the meetings held during the past year :—

1. On the Mechanism of Flight in the Albatross, considered
in relation to its Muscular Anatomy.

2. On some Parasites found in Animals from the Dublin
Zoological Gardens.

3. Remarks on the genus Phaneropleuron.

4. On the Flight of Bats.

During the visit of their Royal Highnesses the
Prince of Wales, Prince Arthur, and Princess
Louise, in the summer of 1871, His Excellency
Earl Spencer drew their attention to the want of
an Elephant in the Dublin Gardens; the result
was that their Royal Highnesses communicated
with His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh,
who telegraphed his wish to present to the
Dublin Gardens the fine male Elephant recently
brought home by him from. India, in H.M.S.
“Galatea.” In due course of time this fine and
docile Elephant arrived in the Gardens, and has
been placed in the Elephant and Camel House,
which is now permanently fitted up with hot-
water pipes for heating the three apartments of
which the house consists.

17

The collection of Llamas in the Gardens now
consists of four Llamas and three Guanachos, and
arrangements have been made to form a Llama
park in Spring, to enclose six of these beautiful
animals, so as to exhibit them to the public in a
natural state. Itis hoped that the Llama park
will prove an attractive feature of the Gardens
during the coming year.

The Council recommend the Society to elect
Mr. William Just, Managing Director of the Pacific
Steam Navigation Company, as an Honorary
Member, in consequence of the valuable services
he has rendered to the Gardens, by presenting
Guanachos, and facilitating the transport of valu-
able animals from South America.

During the past year nineteen live horses, sixty-
seven dead cattle, and thirty-eight dead calves
and sheep, were presented to the Gardens for the
use of the animals.

During the past year 27 live horses, 117 dead
cattle, and 5 dead pigs and sheep were presented
to the Society for the use of the animals.

Among the most interesting animals added to
the Gardens during the year, may be mentioned
Burchell’s Zebra, a fine male, born in the Antwerp
Gardens. The Acclimatation Societies of France
and Belgium are now directing attention to this
Zebra as a means of improving our breed of
mules. A Danish Boar Hound from the King
of Denmark’s own kennel, presented by Captain
Boxer, R.N., forms an attractive addition to the
collectian of animals.

The Council have received plans and estimates
for the construction of an Elephant Compound, on
the plan of those so well known in the London
Gardens. The total cost will amount to £150,
but it will add much to the health and comfort of
the animal, and will form a permanent improve-
ment in the arrangements of the Gardens.

During the past year, 21 live horses, 173 dead
cattle, and 36 dead pigs and sheep, were pre-
sented to the Society for the use of the animals.

The experiment of charging two pence to
adults visiting the Gardens, instead of one penny,
as heretofore, which was commenced in 1874,
was continued during the last year, with the satis-
factory result of adding a considerable sum to
the income of the Society.

In consequence of the rise in price of all the
articles of food used in the Gardens, it became
necessary to secure a permanent addition to the
yearly income of the Society; leaving the pre-
carious resources of special subscriptions to
supply the occasional wants of the Gardens for
buildings and purchase of animals.

This permanent addition to the income of the
Society has been attained by doubling the price
of admission for adults only, both on Week Days
‘and Sundays. ‘The receipts from Sunday admis.
sions, during the past ten years, have been—

The Elephant Compound, built in front of the
Giraffe House, has been completed, and forms a
permanent and valuable addition to the resources
of the Gardens, as an enclosure for the use of
any of the large Pachyderms.

During the course of the year, the Gardens
sustained a heavy loss in the death of the beauti-
ful Lioness, familiarly called “ Old Girl,” by her
friends and admirers. She was born in the
Gardens, of South African stock, on the 8th
September, 1859, and died on the 7th October,
1875, after six weeks of prostration from chronic
bronchitis. During her long and honoured
career, she presented the Gardens with fifty-four
cubs, of which she actually reared fifty, losing
only four. This isa feat unprecedented in the
history of Menageries and Gardens. She was a
Lioness of very high spirit, although very gentle,
and was admitted by judges to be the hand-
somest Lioness they had ever seen. It may be
added, that her offspring, not only added to the
attractions of the Gardens, but that the judicious
sale of a portion of them, brought £1,400, in
cash, for the benefit of the Society. The closing
weeks of her useful life, were marked by a touch-
ing incident worthy of being recorded. The
large Cats, or Carnivores, when in health, have no
objection to the presence of rats in their Cages,
on the contrary, they rather welcome them, as a
relief to the monotony of existence which con-

stitutes the chief trial of a wild animal in

16

confinement. Thus, it is a common sight to see
half a dozen rats gnawing the bones off which
the Lions have dined, while the satisfied Car-
nivores look on contentedly, giving the poor rats
an occasional wink with their sleepy eyes, In
illness the case is different, for the ungrateful
rats begin to nibble the toes of the Lord of the
Forest before his death, and add considerably to
his discomfort. To save our Lioness from this
annoyance, we placed in her cage a fine little
Rat Tan Terrier, who was at first received with
a sulky growl; but when the first rat appeared,
and the Lioness saw the little Terrier toss
him into the air, catching him with professional
skill across the loms with a snap as he came
down, she began to understand what the Terrier
was for; she coaxed him to her side, folded her
paw around him, and each night the little Terrier
slept at the breast of the Lioness enfolded with
her paws, and watching that his natural enemies
did not disturb the rest of his mistress. The
rats had a bad time during those six weeks.

Owing to the liberality of the authorities of
Trinity College, an opportunity was afforded the
Visiters of the Gardens, during the past year, of
seeing a most interesting animal. It was the
Klipdas of the Cape of Good Hope, which is very
closely allied to the Shaphan, or Rock Coney, of
Holy Scripture. This specimen was purchased
for the Museum of Trinity College, and during life
was exhibited in the Zoological Gardens. The

FZ

celebrated Cuvier first pointed out the singular
position of this little animal, which was formerly
believed to be rodent (allied to the rabbit), but
which is now known to possess for its nearest
relatives the Tapir, Hippopotamus, and Rhinoceros.
Professor Marsh, of Yale College, has recently
discovered in the Rocky Mountains, fossil remains
of pachydermatous animals, of great size, closely
allied to the Klipdas, or Shaphan. The Klipdas
is not much larger than a rabbit, and (unfortu-
nately for itself) is considered a great delicacy
when properly cooked. It lives in caves of moun-
tainous districts, such as Table Mount, at the
Cape of Good Hope, or the hill country of Judea.
It is also found in Abyssinia among rocky caves,
and is there called Ashkoko, from the long hedge-
hog like hairs that grow along its back, which in
Amhara are called “ashkok.” Its modern name
in Palestine and Arabia is “ gamu Israel,” or sheep
of Israel. The Hebrew name of this remarkable
little animal, Shaphan, signifies the “ hider,” and
implies cunning. The Shaphan is mentioned four
times in Holy Scripture, and is called in the
authorised version Coney (rabbit). The Septua-
gint translators in all four places used the word
“cheerogryllus,” which implies a sort of grunting
pig, and shows that they had a dim notion of its
zoological peculiarities. St. Jerome also states
that the Shaphan is somewhat larger than a
hedgehog, and that it resembled both a mouse
anda bear (probably from its feet, which have

four round soft toes on the front, and three toes
Cc

18

on the hind). In the Vulgate the word Shaphan
is variously translated ‘‘ chcerogryllus,” “ erina-
ceus” (hedgehog), “cuniculus” (coney), “ lepus-
culus (little hare). The Jews are not allowed to
eat the Shaphan. ‘And the Shaphan, because
he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof, he
is unclean to you.’—Levit. xi., 5, repeated in
Deut. xiv. 7. “The high hills are a refuge for
the wild goats and the rocks for the Shaphan.”—
Ps. civ., 18. The cunning of the Shaphan is
alluded to by Agur, the son of Jakeh, as
follows :—‘‘ there be four things which are
little upon the earth, but they are ex-
ceeding wise. The Shaphan are a feeble folk,
yet make they their houses in the rocks.”
Prov. xxx., 24, 26. The other cunning animals
named by Agur are the Ant, the Locust, and the
Spider. The molar teeth of the Klipdas resemble
those of the Rhinoceros; there are two strong
incisors, without recurved roots, in the upper jaw
and two canines in youth; and there are four
incisors in the lower jaw, two of which are
prominent and horizontal; the body is covered
with thick hair, with hedgehog bristles here
and there; the tail is represented by a little
tubercle; and there are six teats, two pectoral,
and four ventral. Bruce says that in Abyssinia
they live in airy caverns and holes in the rocks ;
that they are gregarious, and that frequently
several dozen of them sit upon large stones at
the entrance of their caves, warming themselves
in the sun, and coming out to enjoy the freshness

19

of a summer’s evening. They do not stand
upright upon their feet, but seem to steal along
as in fear, their belly being nearly close to the
ground, advancing a few steps at a time, and then
pausing. They have something very mild, feeble-
like, and timid in their deportment, are gentle
and easily tamed, though when roughly handled
at first they bite severely. The eyes of the
Klipdas are so bright that they assist the aim
of the Cape sportsmen in the dusk of the evening.
It is said by gourmets that Providence made one
mistake in the creation of the world in not
making the Snipe as large as a Swan ; if the
Cape cooks be right, the Klipdas should have
been as large as his cousin, the Rhinoceros.

The most remarkable additions to the Gardens,
during the year, were the following :—a fine
young Tiger, presented by General Montgomery,
a fine Male Red Kangaroo, and the following
animals born in the Gardens:—1 Stanley Musk
Deer Fawn, 1 Sambur F awn, 2 Llamas, 4 Wolves,
Red Deer Fawn, Guanacco.
