NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



It was a great pleasure to receive during the past year three 

 fine specimens of the Burmese Thameng, or Eld's Deer {Cervns 

 eldi), captured in Burma especially for us on an order from Mr. 

 William Rockefeller. The male of this species bears the largest 

 antlers in proportion to the size of the animal of any deer we 

 know. Our two pairs of Barasinga Deer bred in 1905 and have 

 reared two fine, vigorous fawns. A fawn was born to the pair 

 of Altai Wapiti, but died almost immediately. 



In the autumn of 1905 the Duke of Bedford presented to the 

 Society a splendid, large-sized, full-grown male Tashkent Wapiti 

 from his matchless collection at Woburn Park, and it arrived in 

 fine condition. It is shown beside its near relative, the Altai 

 Wapiti. We greatly desire representatives of the deer found on 

 the Philippine Islands, but the long-existing embargo on the im- 

 portation of any Philippine mammals has prevented the impor- 

 tation of even one specimen. 



During the fall and winter months our deer are a source of 

 constant anxiety and no little vexation. As a rule, the does 

 harass the stags so long as the antlers of the latter are in velvet ; 

 but as soon as the new antlers are ready for use the tables are 

 quickly turned. Then the females must be protected from the 

 males, and males that are particularly aggressive require to be 

 isolated.
