REPORT OF THE SECRETARY. 85 



Rocky Mountain sheep, all captured in the Rocky Mountains Park 

 and shipped from Banff, Alberta. The sheep, both ewes, are most 

 welcome additions to the small herd received from the same source 

 in 1917, which has done so well in our paddocks. The mountain goats 

 are the first on exhibition here in many years, and in the large range 

 prepared especially for them have attracted great attention. A 

 young male, born here May 20, 1921, appears to be a thrifty animal. 



Mr. Victor J. Evans, of Washington, D. C, who has for many 

 years taken great interest in the National Zoological Park, and has, 

 from time to time, added many rare and unusual animals to the col- 

 lection, presented during the year a young male Kadiak bear, a pair 

 of Count Raggi's birds of paradise, and some valuable parrots. The 

 bear gives promise of becoming an exceptionally large individual, 

 and no species of bird of paradise has before been shown in the park. 



Four shipments from tropical America added, by gift, a number 

 of species new to the collections. Dr. F. W. Goding, American con- 

 sul general at Guayaquil, Ecuador, transmitted specimens of the 

 giant Galapagos tortoise, one each from Albemarle Island and In- 

 defatigable Island. The Indefatigable Island species is very rare 

 and had never before been on exhibition. Hon. Henry D. Baker, 

 American consul at Trinidad, British West Indies, sent specimens 

 of the Trinidad brocket deer and agouti. Mr. Stuart H. Gillmore 

 and Mr. Walter C. B. Morse, of Washington, brought with them 

 from Surinam a small collection of animals, including specimens of 

 the golden-hooded oriole and weeping capuchin. Dr. Paul Bartsch, 

 of the National Museum, collected and presented four large ground 

 iguanas from Andros Island and an additional specimen of the great 

 white heron from the Florida Keys. 



Mr. A. K. Haagner, director of the zoological garden at Pretoria, 

 South Africa, brought to America, as a gift to the park, a specimen 

 of his recently discovered Rhodesian baboon.

 the year. The complete list is as follows :
