The *Zoological Garden (PI. G, 10, 13) was founded in
1841-44 as the third of the kind in Europe by a company to whom
Frederick William IV. presented the small collection of animals
previously kept on the Pfauen-Insel (p. 186). The first director was
the naturalist Lichtenstein (A. 1*57). Under H. Bodiuus (A. 1S84),
who became director in 1869, the collection developed to greater
importance. The present director is Prof. Heck. Adm., see p. 42
