They may state, however, that on the whole the Menagerie 

 remains in a very satisfactory condition. Though the num-

 exception of the Elk and the Honduras Turkey) no species of 

 importance have been lost out of the large series enumerated 

 in their last year's Report. On the other hand, some very 

 fine additions to the Society's unrivalled collection of living 

 animals have been made since that period, as will be seen by 

 the following
