Although temperatures at the Auckland Zoo during the last few weeks have been generally lower than in the corresponding period of yecent years mortality among the stock has been remarkably small. This is largely accounted for by the precision of elec-trically-heated quarters, where many tropical birds and animals are spending the winter. Among the latest additions to this favoured family are the zoo pelicans. Recent deaths at the zoo have been practically confined to a few finches, none of the more valuable birds or animals being lest.
