"includes also the zoological Garden & Natural History Museum. At the Zoological Garden we saw Ad. Spectable bears, many Spider monkeys, agoutis, a paca, a jaguar, coati, native foxes, candors, hawks and many prim. animals & European animals as: lions, hyaenas, giraffs, elephants, Zebra, guars, jammers, leopards monkeys etc. The botanical garden was filled with royal palms, calyf pom palmeo, cocoos & many others. Rows of olive-leaved fig trees made the park very shady. Acacias present. Magnolias were common trees. Of the zoo were two large polar bears which were apparently in good health. A large herd of Indian Rock bucks were at the park all of which I have now drafted were born in the park with the excepte of the original pair. The polar bears are a good illustration of the temperate climate, I saw two species of Tapirs in the park.
