The total number of accessions for the year was 1,411. This in- 
cludes gifts, purchases, exchanges, deposits, births, and hatchings. 
A determined effort was made this year to accept as gifts, purchases, 
or exchanges only those animals that fit into the long-range exhibition 
plans of the National Zoological Park. 
The collection has fewer individuals listed this year because many 
species were felt to have an excessive number of individuals and have 
been adjusted to a more reasonable number in relation to the over-all 
collection, thus providing a more balanced exhibition. Several minor 
species which are best displayed in large numbers do not have an 
individual count, merely being listed as ‘‘many.”’
