The London Zoological Gardens have received from the Antipodes some remarkable creatures known as the Golden Tree Frogs. They are said to be the largest ever seen in confinement and despite their size can adhere to the foliage of trees. They are variously marked—one with gold stripes on an olive background, another simply grass green, Four inches in length they have on their toes large disks which, incident ally, do not assist their adherence to the leaves by suction but rather by "molecular attraction together with somewhat sticky secretion." No court they are ting much interest in the annexe of the Reptile House where ey are lodged. Mrs, Leo Hunter has unhapd away. Her muse it is hoped has not been forgotten. It should surely be invited to cross Regent's Park and indite an ode to the "Golden Tree Frog," but it is to be feared that no living giver of garden parties could do justice to the lines thus inspired. Nor would there be a modern Pickwick to play the part of enraptured audience.
