TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT 73 
be shipped to New York. We entertain the hope that it will be 
possible for Mr. Haagner to pay a visit to America in connection 
with the transportation of the shipment that is now being col- 
lected. If he comes to America we will endeavor to see that he 
does not return empty-handed to his zoological park. 
The hurried and brief visit of Mr. William Beebe to British 
Guiana in September and October yielded for the Zoological Park 
a fine young tapir, a spotted cavy, and the beautiful silky ant- 
eater fully described and illustrated by Mr. Beebe in the Zoo- 
logical Society Bulletin for January, 1918. 
Among the miscellaneous purchases of the year the follow- 
ing are worthy of mention: 2 Japanese red-faced monkeys, 1 
chimpanzee, 1 chacma baboon, 1 golden baboon, 2 yaguarundi 
cats, 2 South American martens, 4 red foxes, 2 ocelots, 1 coyote, 
1 South American fox, 1 bay lynx, 5 spotted cavies, 1 tree porcu- 
pine, 1 tayra, 1 great ant-eater 2 Lund’s opossums and 3 mule 
deer. 
The desire of regiments in the American army to possess 
and transport to France regimental mascots resulted in a general 
prohibition of mascot exportation, and the presentation to the 
Zoological Park of a number of specimens. Through this chan- 
nel we received, as company or regimental gifts, 4 young black 
bears, 2 young cinnamon bears and a young goat that had made 
a trial trip of 700 miles in an aeroplane. Among other gifts re- 
ceived were 3 macaque monkeys, 1 rhesus monkey, 2 white-faced 
sapajous, 1 Canada porcupine, 5 common raccoons, 1 crab-eating 
raccoon, 2 coyotes, 1 coati mundi, 2 red foxes and 1 Mexican deer. 
The most noteworthy gift of the year consisted of 2 black-faced 
kangaroos and 2 Woodward kangaroos presented by Mr. Ellis 
S. Joseph.
