ceive, care for, and place such creatures appears to be a proper func- 

 tion of the National Zoological Park. 



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 respon- 

 sibility for their return and no obligation to replace any that do not 

 survive.
