Other than the above, the most important animals received by 
eift during 1908 were the following: 
Two Somali lion cubs, captured and presented by Mr. and Mrs. 
Armar D. Saunderson; One kiang, or Thibetan wild ass, adult 
male, gift of the Duke of Bedford*; 1 Alaskan black bear, gift of 
Rex Beach and Fred A Stone; 1 adult male white-tailed deer, gift 
*Unfortunately this valuable animal so strongly resented confinement in 
a shipping crate that on board ship it kicked almost incessantly from the 
time it was placed on board ship, and as a result it died shortly before 
the steamer reached New York. Another specimen has been presented to 
take its place.
