DEPOSITS 



During the process of the National Zoological Park's capital im- 

 provement program, animals which are rare in the United States and 

 would be crowded or poorly housed during the construction period 

 are being sent to municipal zoos and other facilities. During the 

 past year rare or valuable specimens have been dispersed to locations 

 thought to have good breeding conditions as well as better living 

 accommodations. Other animals have been dispersed with the under- 

 standing that they or similar specimens will be returned when suitable 

 portions of the new exhibit areas are available here in the park. These 

 deposits are : 



Brookfield Zoo, Brookfield, 111., female Dall sheep. 



Busch Gardens, Tampa, Fla., male concave-casqued hornbill, female Solomon 



Islands cockatoo.
