@Arizona Docent: here is a species list from August 4th, 2010:
Riverbanks Conservation Outpost – Traveling from the indoor gorilla viewing building to the outdoor area all visitors stroll through a tunnel that is lined with numerous animal exhibits. Some of the enclosures are terrific and packed with natural substrate, while others are too small for their occupants. Here is a list of all the species found in this part of the zoo: Matschie’s tree kangaroo, fishing cat, Rodrigues fruit bat, white-faced saki monkey, black howler monkey, lion-tailed macaque, golden lion tamarin, golden-headed lion tamarin, Hoffman’s two-toed sloth, crocodile monitor (missing almost all of its tail!) and black-footed cat.
When originally constructed there were a total of two tunnels with 21 exhibits in all. It was partially demolished to make way for the Ndoki forest now leaving a total of 10 exhibits.

These tunnels were called the small mammal buildings back in 1974 I also have a inventory list as of december 31 1994 if you would like that.
@Gilgamesh: what an extraordinary list! Thanks very much and I'd be intrigued to see what the '94 list looks like as well. To have had at one time species such as black bear, brown hyena, puma and jaguar must have made for some very cramped exhibits.
