Leopards and tigress lately added to the Zoological Society's collection, Regent's Park, 1868. 'Some valuable additions hare lately been made to the collection of the Zoological Society of London in the Regent's Park Gardens, which will attract as many visitors as last year when the bright and sunny days return to our climate. Four of the new specimens of large carnivora are represented in the Engraving, from a drawing by Mr. S. Carter. They are the black leopard (felis leopardus) presented to the Zoological Society by Major John Pearse, of the Madras Staff Corps ; a small leopard from Zanzibar, in Eastern Africa, presented last December by Dr. E. P. Wright, F.G.S., of Trinity College, Dublin; an Indian leopard of much larger size; and a young tigress (felis tigris), presented last month by his Excellency Sir Seymour Fitzgerald, K.C.S.I., Governor of the Presidency of Bombay'. From "Illustrated London News", 1868.
