STOCKING THE ZOO
MANY NEW PURCHASES DUE IN AUCKLAND SOON Further orders have been placed in London, India and South Africa for animals for the Auckland Zoo. The new list is a fairly comprehensive one. The English shipment will be a pair of jaguars, a female ocelot, two pairs of scarlet ibis, a pair of grey-
necked and a pair of black-necked crown cranes, together with a young brown bear. Calcutta will supply flamingoes, and cranes, besides some 48 monkeys. A pair of wild-bredMion cubs are now on their way from South Africa. Smith, Wylie, Ltd., have presented a South African antelope; which has yet to be transported from Sydney. Much of the new stock should be here by Christmas.
