TWENTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT lOli 



BIRDS. 



By Lek S. Crandall. 



The following list contains the more important arrivals 

 during the year, species new to the Zoological Park collection 

 being indicated by asterisks. The host of less unusual birds, 

 which go to make up the numbers of every large collection, have 

 not been included here. With the exception of two cocks-of-the- 

 rock and the white-throated bat falcon, received from the Trop- 

 ical Research Station, and a few stragglers secured from dealers, 

 the birds listed were included in the three important shipments 

 of the year. These were the consignment brought by Mr. Ellis 

 S. Joseph from Australasia, one from South Africa by Mr. A. K. 

 Haagner, Director of the Zoological Gardens of Pretoria, and 

 the collection gathered in Europe by the Curator.
