Among the deaths for the year were the following: Man- 

 drill (valvular heart trouble) ; Siberian tiger (old age) ; Bengal 

 tiger (hemmorhagic condition) ; lioness (rheumatic condition 

 from age — painlessly destroyed) ; Syrian bear (old age, on 

 exhibition over twenty years) ; female giraffe, on deposit (heart 

 trouble from date of arrival). We mercifully destroyed several 

 very aged bison and deer. Among other losses were a warthog, 

 Rocky Mountain goat. Rocky Mountain sheep lambs, a great 

 ant-eater, and a male anoa. We regard the pygmy buffalo or 

 anoa as our most serious loss. 



As has been our custom during past years, we deposited the 

 usual series of small mammals and birds at the Zoological Room 

 of the Washington Irving High School, and kept in close touch 

 with it through regular inspections by one of our keepers. These 

 animals are returned to the Park during the vacation period. 



A census of the collection of mammals compiled on January 

 1, 1922, is as follows:
