SECRETARY'S REPORT 111 



received 6 raccoons, 1 jaguarondi, 2 squirrel monkeys, 2 kinkajous, 

 4 opossums, and 3 king snakes. 



The exchange of specimens with zoos and institutions in the United 

 States is also continuing. With the decrease in wild animal popu- 

 lations in various parts of the world, it becomes important to replace 

 animal losses from stock propagated in other zoos. An actual sur- 

 plus of any one kind of animal is best dissipated by distributing to 

 other American zoos so that new displays and further propagation 

 may be achieved.
