Abstract
THE propriety of establishing Zoological Gardens at Calcutta, has, as those who are acquainted with the proceedings of the Asiatic Society of Bengal are well aware, been before the public and the Indian Government for these last fifty years, It is, however, only within a very recent period that anything has been practically effected, and the first report on the progress made in the development of the new institution during the first year of its existence has only just reached us. Before alluding to its contents, a few words on the origin of the present scheme may be acceptable to those who take an interest in the subject.
