The remains of ex-President Taft The Curators at the Zoo recently will lie in state on March 11, on a completed the task of stock-bler on which the body of Lineola taking and valuing the animals in the collection in preparation for the annual audit in February. Last year the collection was valu- ed at £35,916, but only animals ac- tually owned by the Society are included. Many valuable creatures, tis, for instance, the Komodo dragons, are on deposit and remain the property of private persons, though they will probably never be taken away.

Valuation is not easy except that of animals frequently imported and sold to private persolis as well as to zoological gardens, Many mam- mals, birds, reptiles, and fishes have a market value more or less individual defined, varying for species with the sex, age, condi- tion, and demand and supply. But there are fluctuations, sometimes unexpected. A few years ago blus budgerigars fetched as much as 190 a pair, and the prices of the common yellow and green varletics rose to several pounds: If the prices had been maintained the present stock in the Zoo's aviaries would now be worth several thou- sand pounds.
