ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1956 



Eleven Humboldt's penguins {Spheniscus humboldti) were received 

 as gifts from the Perfection Stove Co. of Cleveland, Ohio. 



A green conure {Aratinga leucophthalmus) was a gift from N. H. 

 Caudell, of College Park, Md. 



A horn-nosed iguana {Iguana iguana rhinolopha) obtained by Jack 

 Reed, of Tampa, Fla., while on a cruise along the Mexican coast, was 

 given to the Zoo. It is a beautiful example and, although closely 

 related to the common iguana, is sufficiently different to make a very 

 desirable addition to the collection. 



GIFTS AND DEPOSITS 



This year, as in many years past, various individuals have deposited 

 in the Zoo animals to which they desired to retain title. These are 

 most acceptable additions to the exhibits. Depositors are assured 

 that the animals will receive routine care, but the Zoo assumes no 

 responsibility and no obligation to replace any that do not survive.
