Zoos

Alexander reports that he has inspected Ewart's leopard at the Zoo and that it seems in good health. He asks Ewart to notify him if he is planning to sell her and comments that he has found a remnant of the Chartley cattle herd.

Hill writes to confirm that the Foreign Office have got the mare zebra from the zoo. He says he will send a report to Ewart if it is not printed by the Society of Arts and enquires whether Ewart has heard anything more about the dwarf ponies.

The writer provides information concerning the ponies in the Jardin d'Acclimatation de Paris.

The author's signature is unclear.

The Duke enquires where the mule Kiang came from, as he has two himself, and gives details of them. He invites Ewart to visit him at Woburn Abbey and view them. He states that they expect a pair of Grevy's zebras at the Zoo.

Le Souef describes the cross-bred zebra that the Royal Melbourne Zoological Gardens have in their care. It is the product of a Burchell's zebra and white donkey, and is four years old. He goes on to give a physical description of the foal, and writes that he is enclosing photos of the specimens (not present).
