DEATHS AMONG THE MAMMALS. 



The following important specimens were lost during the 

 past year: a sloth bear fell into the tank and was drowned. A 

 female Eld's deer broke her leg and was destroyed. Several 

 hoofed animals died from old age. Among these were a female 

 Indian antelope that had been on exhibition over a period of six- 

 teen years. A female Eld's deer, on exhibition during a similar 

 period, died from old age. Several old bison died during the 

 year, or were mercifully destroyed. One of these had been on 

 exhibition for nineteen years. At the Antelope House we lost a 

 blessbok and a lechwe waterbuck — one from old age, and the 

 latter from an injury which resulted in an infection of a hind 

 leg, when the animal was chloroformed. An old Rocky Moun- 

 tain sheep, on exhibition a number of years at the Zebra House, 

 died during the latter part of the year. A younger specimen of 

 the same species succumbed to disease. A young Siberian cam.el, 

 born in the Park, developed a condition of paralysis and was 

 chloroformed. The chimpanzee baby that was born in the Pri- 

 mate House never learned to nurse, and survived only eight 

 days.
