 The well-known bald-headed chimpanzee " Sally " ; 

 a young one of the same species (Anthropopi- 

 thecus calvus) obtained in December last ; a young 

 common chimpanzee (Anthropopithecus troglodytes), 

 which was presented to the Society in May 1888 ; 

 and a silvery gibbon (Hylobates leuciscus), which 

 has been in the Gardens since November, having 

 also been presented to the Society; this, like the

 collection " on deposit," and has, we regret to say,
