SEVERAL years ago the present writer concocted an article in favour of putting a "zoo" in Jessfield Park, then not long acquired by the Council from the late Mr. Jenner Hogg and still regarded by quite a number of people as too far out to be ever useful ax a popular resort. He even made an alleyed joke on the obvious usefulness of the proximo ity of a well known semi-missionary establishment as a means of ding the cassowaries with 1 food appropriately oF inappropriately on the edueational benefits of zoological gardens for the young. As to the latter, he hes since developed jnisgivings. Nature study strikes one rather like Latin verses, which those who can write need.
