    Ward, F.Z.S., the distinguished naturalist who produced the famous jungle scene in the Indian and Colonial Exhibition, 1886. The arrangement is on an original plan, presenting all the details and resources of the systems adopted, and especially their em- ployment on foreign service. Mr. Ward has designed and arranged a background with painted natural scenery, in front of which are placed the tents, waggons, and other apparatus, together with elephants, camels, draught animals, tropical foliage, and other foliage, the whole scene being alike effective and truthful.’
