REPORT OF THE SECRETARY. 



Ill 



others should be mentioned. An interesting specimen of Baird's tapir, 

 about three months old, received from Lieut. Roger Welles, jr., U.S. N., 

 died about twenty days after receipt. When received it was suffering 

 from indigestion, and in spite of all efforts it never recovered. Very i)rob- 

 ably it was taken too young from its mother. 



An old bison died from malnutrition, having l)een sick and feeble for 

 some time. A lioness died as a consequence of ditficult parturition. Two 

 Virginia deer were killed by a savage buck, and four mule deer died from 

 some defect of nutrition. The tine zebu bull presented by Mr. Starin, in 

 1891, finally succumlied, apparently to old age. An old elk and a sea-lion 

 died from the same cause. 



Lists of the animals in the park at the close of the liscal year and of 

 accessions from various sources are hereto apjiended.
