SECRETARY'S REPORT

Nikumba, lowland gorillas. The baby was named Tomoka and was 

 successfully reared by the wife of Keeper Bernard M. Gallagher. 

 Moka's first pregnancy was carefully watched, and the birth of the 

 baby was eagerly anticipated. After her pregnancy, like some human 

 mothers, she began to put on weight, and although her diet was care- 

 fully supervised she continued to gain. This, and the fact that the 

 male gorilla suffered an attack of paralysis in June 1963 (see p. 143), 

 account for her second baby, Leonard, arriving as something of a 

 surprise package on January 10, 1964. Leonard, like his brother, is 

 being raised in Keeper Gallagher's home and gives every evidence of 

 being a normal, healthy young gorilla. 



Four more calves were born to the Dorcas gazelles, increasing the 

 number of these graceful little animals to a herd of eight. The 

 original pair were gifts from President Habib Bourguiba of Tunisia 

 in 1960. 



Other interesting additions were two hybrids between a male cotton- 

 top marmoset {Saguinus oedi'pus) and a female red-handed tamarin 

 {S. midas)^ born on February 19. The babies closely resemble their 

 mother, lacking the white pompadour of the cottontop. 



Following the procedure of previous years, all births and hatchings 

 are listed below, whether or not the young were successfully reared. 

 In many instances, the record of animals having bred in captivity is 

 of interest.
