Abstract
AT a recent examination for the Natural Science tripos at Cambridge, one of the pieces of information asked for in vain by the examiners was, I am told, “some account of the chief peculiarities of the Fauna of New Zealand.” It so happens that the series of animals of our antipodean colony in the Zoological Society's Gardens is at the present moment unprecedentedly complete, and had the young gentlemen of Cambridge paid them an attentive visit, would have furnished ample materials for a proper answer to the examiners. I propose, therefore, to offer a few remarks upon them, and to make them the basis of some sort of answer to the question above mentioned.
