SEVENTIETH ANNUAL REPORT. 


In submitting its Seventieth Annual Report, the Council 
of The Royal Zoological and Acclimatisation Society of Vic¬ 
toria has pleasure in announcing that attendances and takings 
at the Zoological Gardens during 1933 compared favorably 
with the previous year and exhibited a slight but extremely 
welcome improvement. 

The Council was thereby enabled to suspend the ration¬ 
ing of its working staff (a measure inexorably imposed at 
the outset of the depression) and to make payments to the 
State Treasury aggregating i/50, on account of the Society’s 
outstanding interest obligations on sums advanced in earlier 
years by the Government of Victoria for expenditure on the 
Council's approved programme of reconstruction and exten¬ 
sion works. The aforesaid payments to the Treasury unfor¬ 
tunately disabled the Council from proceeding to complete 
its long interrupted building programme and limited its con¬ 
structing operations to the provision of indispensable public 
conveniences, which included two modern and commodious 
shelter sheds in replacement of a number of old and out-worn 
buildings which had long ceased to serve effectively the pur¬ 
poses of their erection. 

The Council was obliged, during the year, to enclose one 
hippopotamus pond and paddock with a strong framework of 
chain wire netting in order to preserve the life of the 
Society’s remaining adult hippopotamus—one fine specimen 
having been destroyed by an apparently deliberate act of 
vandalism following similar occurrences in Western Australia 
and South Australia. It is deplorable to reflect that the 
community contains individuals capable of such insenatc 
cruelty. Other necessary works of renewal and improve¬ 
ment carried out during the year included the substitution 
of a fine new lawn for the obsolete pond paddock adjoining 
the new flight aviary and the reformation, channelling and 
gravelling of the main footpaths. 

The Council records with a feeling of deep regret the 
demise of one of its honoured and esteemed colleagues in the 






8 


person of Mr. Charles William Maclean, who had been 
associated with this Society since 1909, during which period 
until his lamented death in January, 1933, he occupied the 
distinguished office of President in 1910 and 1920-1922, and 
that of Vice-President 1912-1917. 

The Council is happy to report that the Society's valuable 
collection of fauna is in excellent condition, that all its 
property and plant have been maintained in good order, and 
that the utility and appearance of the Gardens have been 
improved. 

Steps are being taken to give effect to the proposal for 
the erection of a new main entrance to the Gardens and the 
assistance of the Government has been sought in this direc¬ 
tion. 

The revenue from gate receipts amounted to 76,105/9/11, 
as compared with 75,612/17/7 received from this source in 
1932. 


The Elephant, Donkey-carriages and Motor-railway con¬ 
tinue to be popular with the children. The Elephant carried 
during the year 47,377, the Donkey-carriages 42,779 and the 
Motor-railway 94,597. 

The total number of visitors who paid for admission to 
the Gardens during the year amounted to 293,570, as com¬ 
pared with 270,530 in 1932. Children from Charitable Institu¬ 
tions and State and Primary Schools, who are admitted free 
of charge, are not included in the above figures. 

During the year the Council purchased and exchanged 
the following 


2 Golden Rhesus Monkey 

2 Gophors. 

il Prairie Marmots 

3 Canadian Porcupines 

2 Snapping Turtles 

3 Frilled Lizards 
1 Tiger Cat 

4 Tasmanian Devils 
3 Platypuses 

18 Tasmanian Rosellas 


1 Native Companion 

2 Adjutants 

2 Pondicherry Vultures 
2 White Common Peafowl 
5 Bar-headed Geese 
2 Canada Geese 
2 Blue Geese 
2 Eire-back Pheasants 
2 Reeve Pheasants 
2 Paradise Ducks 


besides Kangaroos, Wallabies and other small native animals 
and birds. 

The following stock was born in the Gardens in 1933: — 
6 Entellus Monkeys 4 Indian Wolves 

2 Rhesus Monkeys 3 Brown Bears 

2 Lions 1 Hippopotamus 


i Indian .Antelope 
1 Rusa Deer 


D 


1 Black Leopard 

2 Woodchucks 

1 Sable Antelope 

as well as other small native fauna. 

The Council tenders its thanks to the Director, Mr. 
Andrew Wilkie, and to the Secretary, Mr. Hugh G. Turner, 
for their able and loyal services, also to Dr. W. '1'. Kendall, 
Honorary Consulting Veterinary Surgeon, and Mr. Hector 
Kendall. B.V.Sc., for the care they have bestowed upon the 
animals. It desires, too, to thank its friends for donations of 
animals and birds; the Press for the publicity it has so 
generously given the Gardens; the British India Steam Navi¬ 
gation Company for valuable services rendered, and the 
Police for the help and protection they have at all times 
willingly afforded. 

For and on behalf of the Council, 

AMBROSE PRATT, 

President

PROCEEDINGS AT ANNUAL MEETING. 


The Seventieth Annual Meeting of the Royal Zoological 
and Acclimatisation Society of Victoria was held at the 
office of the Society, Zoological Gardens, on Tuesday, 27th 
February, 1934, at 3 p.m. 

Present: Ambrose Pratt, Esq., President (in the Chair), 
Dr. W. T. Kendall, Dr. Brooke Nicholls, Hon. J. Humc-Cook, 
L. J. Levy Esq., A. V. Galbraith Esq., D. Picking Esq. and 
the Director. 

Apologies for absence were received from Professor Sir 
W. Colin MacKenzie, K.B., M.D., Dr. Paul G. Dane, Hon. 
J. G. Membrey and F. Lewis Esq. 

The Secretary read the notice convening the meeting. 

The Minutes of the sixty-ninth Annual Meeting, held 
28th February, 1933, were read, and they were confirmed on 
the motion of Mr. Levy, seconded by Dr. Kendall. 

Dr. Kendall moved: “That the Report and Financial 
Statement of the Council for the year 1933, be taken as 
read.” Seconded by Mr. Galbraith, and carried. 

Mr. AMBROSE PRATT: "1 have the honour to move 
that the Report and Financial Statement be received and 
adopted. I need scarcely point out to members that we 
have passed through a very devastating experience, probably 
the worst depression in the history of the State and certainly 
the worst depression the Society has experienced in the 
seventy years during which it has been functioning. We have 
been helped to survive by the generous public support we 
have received and also by the help extended to us by the Press. 
Of late we have observed signs of a lifting of the depression 
that have been reflected in recently increased attendances at 
the Society's Gardens and, consequently, in an improvement 
in the finances of the institution, which has been a great cheer 
to all concerned in the administration of its affairs. We look 
forward hopefully to better times and to an enlarged support. 
We are now entering the Centenary year of Victoria’s history 
and we propose to signalise that year by the development 
of certain aspects of our work in a novel and hitherto unex- 
ploied direction. It has long been a matter of reproach 
that visitors to the Commonwealth have been unable to see 
anywhere in one place in any part of Australia a truly 
representative collection of the peculiar birds and animals that 
are exclusively indigenous to this country. We believe that 
such a collection nowhere yet exists and we propose, as our 




PAINTED STORKS.

contribution to Victoria’s centenary celebrations, to remedy 
that lack so that visitors will be able to examine at close 
range in one great special enclosure, a thoroughly represen¬ 
tative collection of the unique forms of life that are to be 
found only in Australia. We are now actively engaged in the 
work of preparation and we hope that the new section will 
be completed before October next. In addition to the pro¬ 
vision of accommodation for the more common types of our 
fauna, we propose to make special arrangements for the 
Platypus to be exhibited in conditions closely simulating its 
natural state. The great success that has attended the ex¬ 
periments of Mr. Robert Eadie, of Badger Creek, has en¬ 
couraged us to undertake this work with confidence. It is 
our intention to adopt and in certain details to improve upon 
the discoveries of Mr. Eadie and if all goes well no great 
time will elapse before visitors from abroad and residents 
of Australia may, at any time they care to come to the 
Gardens observe and study for themselves the strange habits, 
properties and characteristics of this strange little creature, 
the most amazing of all Nature’s paradoxes. We have 
thought it necessary to place the new special Australian de¬ 
partment in charge of a thoroughly competent authority. 
Mr. David Eleay, whom we have appointed, is a Bachelor of 
Science who has specialised in the Study of Nature. He has 
an established reputation as a naturalist and has contributed 
many valuable articles to the Scientific Press on the Eauna 
of Australia, both at home and overseas. It will be Mr. 
Elcay’s duty not merely to administer his special department 
but to treat and handle and care for the animals in his con¬ 
trol in such a manner that they will be completely happy in 
their captivity. We are all very proud to know that our 
Zoo has established a record amongst all the Zoological col¬ 
lections of both hemispheres for the longevity of its inmates. 
We have the lowest death-rate of any Zoo in the World and 
this is predominantly due to the fact that we have provided 
such conditions in our Gardens as ensure the maximum of 
comfort, health and happiness to each individual creature in 
our care. In addition to Mr. Fleay’s duty to protect the 
health and comfort of his charges, it will be part of his task 
to lecture at stated periods to visitors, young people par¬ 
ticularly, on the exclusive fauna of this country—to the end 
that our Zoo may become an even more important centre of 
educational influence than in the past, and extend and in¬ 
crease the knowledge of the Australian people concerning 


12 


their own wonderful natural heritage. We hope also, in 
course <>l time, to equip the new section with a representa¬ 
tive collection of Australia’s beautiful flora. 

It is pleasing to note the presence here to-day of Mr. 
Douglas Picking, President of the Avicultural Society, who 
has very kindly promised me the co-operation of his Society 
in the development our new department. On.behalf of the 
Council 1 thank him most cordially for his promised help, 
which we shall most gratefully accept. I have nothing fur¬ 
ther to add, except to tender the hearty thanks of the 
Council to our able Director. Mr. Wilkie, for the wonderful 
work he has done in the Gardens during the past vear, and 
indeed in all previous years since hi. Directorate commenced. 
I thank also our able old fellow-councillor, Dr. Kendall, and 
his son, Mr. Hector Kendall, for the unstinted care they have 
bestowed throughout the year upon the collection. I have 
much pleasure in moving the adoption of the Report and 
Financial Statement.” 

Mr. L. J. LEVY: "Mr. President and gentlemen, I have 
much pleasure in seconding the motion for the reception and 
adoption of the Report and Financial Statement. The Presi¬ 
dent’s statement has dealt fully with the position. The Re¬ 
port and Financial Statement give you a full and accurate 
statement ol the facts. I can add nothing to the excellent 
statement that the President has made with regard to the in¬ 
tentions of the Council in connection with the Australian 
section that is to be established except that 1 feel absolutely 
certain that with the number ol visitors who will be attracted 
to the Gardens during the Centenary year nothing will make 
such a lasting impression as the form of entertainment you 
propose to offer them, and when vou add the services of an 
enthusiastic scientist, who is also a skilled lecturer, 1 venture 
to say that we can rely on a lull measure of public support 
in our endeavour to provide something particularly interest¬ 
ing and instructive for Centenary visitors,” 

Mr. DOUGLAS PICKING: "Recently at a meeting of 
the Avicultural Society, ol which I am President, after a dis¬ 
cussion had arisen regarding I lie breeding and successful 
propagation ol Australian birds and native fauna in general, 
I stated before our meeting that it would be lilting for mem¬ 
bers to work in closer co-operation with the Zoo. For a long 
time I have been advocating that we get in closer touch with 
our Melbourne Zoo. The Avicultural Society of Victoria is 
il small body but in England it is a strong force, having for 


i 5 


its Patron King George and numbering amongst its hundreds 
of members eminent people and leaders of English Society. 
The English Society is in close touch with the London Zoo 
and the editor of the “Avicultural Magazine” is Mr. D. Seth- 
Smith, of the Zoological Society, Regent’s Park. In my 
opinion, although people do show a great deal of interest in 
our Zoo and the Press gives great assistance, there is still 
too much laxity. There is only one Melbourne Zoo and it 
behoves everyone to give this Zoo Support. A great deal has 
been said about a wild zoo in the hills. This is quite in order, 
provided that the money for its establishment on sound lines 
is available and that its object is to breed and then propa¬ 
gate, not just to have enclosures to put stock in and allow it 
to care for itself. The scheme is going to be a bigger one 
than it appears on paper and can easily cost many thousands 
of pounds before it actually starts. Then if it is not a sanc¬ 
tuary and propagation area run on the right lines, it will 
only be another Zoo to detract from the already established 
Melbourne Zoo. There are ways in which sanctuaries could 
be run (and we want all that we can get for the sake of our 
wonderful fauna) that would draw a good deal of attention 
to the Zoo and at the same time be of much benefit to the 
country. I have close on one thousand acres where 1 have 
been endeavouring to build up a Fauna Park in which I could 
breed and propagate native stock and useful varieties of 
introduced Pheasants and Partridges, and all along I have 
thought, and have said at our meetings, that we ought to give 
more attention to our Melbourne Zoo, for, however much the 
Zoo grows, there is ample scope for sanctuaries efficiently 
run, where stock can breed, assisted by competent keepers. 
The experience gained on the large areas would be of 
material benefit to the Zoo, particularly in a way of which 
1 could give further details later. It has been of great in¬ 
terest to hear this afternoon that Mr. David Fleay is to be 
in charge of a native fauna section to be established in the 
Gardens. In my connection with the Avicultural Society, I 
would like to say that, as a Centenary gesture, it would be a 
good thing if several of our leading citizens became Life 
Members of the Zoological Society. The money thus 
obtained could be allotted to erecting cages of suitable design 
with the name-plate of the donor on each and the Avicultural 
Society might do all in its power to fill those enclosures with 
birds actually bred in similar cages. Then, when that is done, 
anyone who has found out anything of interest might pass 


14 


the information on. For instance, Mr. Fleay may have some 
difficulty with different kinds of fauna and I would be only 
too glad to help him in any way 1 could, that is if he needed 
it. I have actually seen recently the birth of the marsupial 
and have taken photographs of the young one travelling to 
the pouch. I would be pleased to pass that information on 
to Mr. Fleay. In the case of small birds, Mr. Nicholson, of 
London, in speaking of the birds he had seen in the Avicul- 
tural Society’s aviaries here, expressed surprise that he had 
not seen those birds at the Zoo, so 1 think it is tip to the 
Society to supply the Zoo with the birds referred to. It is 
done in England and should be done here. Regarding propa¬ 
gation of game-birds, 1 would also gladly pass oil any know¬ 
ledge on the subject that I possess. Our Melbourne Zoo 
probably needs at the present time all the help we can give 
it.” 

Mr. AMBROSE PRATT: "On behalf of the Council 1 
would like to once more express our appreciation of your 
kind offer of the co-operation of your Society in connection 
with our proposed new collection. On the other hand, we 
assure you that we shall be only too glad to co-operate with 
you in every way possible for the advancement of your 
Society’s interests. It has long been my' view that all the 
scientific societies in the State should enter into closer touch 
with one another, and 1 feel perfectly sure that such an as¬ 
sociation would be of very great benelit to all concerned.” 

The motion was put and carried unanimously. 

The retiring members of the Council, in accordance with 
Regulation 2, namely, Louis J. Levy Esq., Professor Sir W. 
Colin MacKenzie, K.B., M.D., and Dr. Brooke Nicholls, were 
re-elected, no nominations having been received. 

Hon. J. Hume-Cook moved: "That Mr. Ambrose Pratt lie 
re-elected President for the ensuing year.” Seconded by Dr. 
Nicholls, and carried by acclamation. 

Mr. AMBROSE PRATT: “Mr. Humc-Cook, Dr. Nicholls 
and gentlemen, I have much difficulty in expressing my deep 
sense of appreciation of the great honour you have once more 
paid me in re-electing me as President. 1 promise you that 
1 shall do all within my power to further the interests of the 
Society.” 

1'he retiring V ice-Presidents, namely, Professor Sir W. 
Colin MacKenzie, K.B., M.D., and Hon. J. G. Membrey were 
unanimously re-elected, as was also the retiring Hon. 
Treasurer, Hon. J. Hume-Cook. 


15 


Hon. J. HUME-COOK: “I desire to move a cordial vote 
of thanks to the Press. I would like to indicate the pleasure 
that we, as a Council, feel at the manner in which the Press 
has treated this institution during the past twelve months. 
In fact, ever since my connection with this body I have felt 
personally, and I think I speak for the rest of the Council, 
that we are greatly indebted to the Press for the support 
which the Gardens receive in the way of visitors, who help 
to keep the Society going. Since the new proposal was 
mooted about a Platvpusary we have had all kinds of notice 
from the Press as to when it is to be started and how soon 
it will be open for inspection. When it is explained to over¬ 
seas and other visitors that they can see the most unique 
animal in the world, I feel sure that there will be a con¬ 
siderable improvement in the attendances. 1 have much 
pleasure in saying again, quite sincerely, that we do appreci¬ 
ate most heartily indeed the very great and continued assist¬ 
ance the Press of Victoria gives to this great public institu¬ 
tion.” Seconded by Mr. Levy, and carried unanimously. 

Mr. A. V. GALHKAITI1: “Gentlemen, it gives me very 
great pleasure indeed to move a vote of thanks to our Presi¬ 
dent. Mr. \mbrose Pratt, who is in the Chair to-day. We all 
admire his enthusiastic support of this institution, which is 
of great educational value to the community. Mr. Pratt’s 
enthusiasm is reflected in many ways throughout the institu¬ 
tion and 1 wish to place before you a resolute n to the effect 
that we desire to move a very hearty vote of thanks to him. 
Long may lie be spared to carry on his splendid work.” 
Seconded by Mr. Levy and carried by acclamation.
