 made to the Menagerie during the year 1883 : — 



1. A female Panolia Deer {Cervus eld'i) from Siam, received in 

 exchange from the Jardin d'Acclimatation, Paris, February lOtli. 

 The only previous specimen of tliis Deer in the Society's Collec- 

 tion was the male presented by Mr. A. Grote, F.Z.S., in 18G7. 



2. A young male Thar {Capra jemlaica), presented by Lieut. 

 Col. Alex. A. A. Kinloch, C.M.Z.S., February 17. We are 

 specially obliged to Col. Kinloch for sending us this animal, as 

 wo have two females, mother and young, already in the Collec-

3. A male Blyth's Tragopan (Cenornis hlyfJii), presented by 

 Capt. W. Brydon, and received through the kind mediation of 

 the Zoological Gardens, Calcutta, February 17th. The only 

 example of this splendid species previously received was that

 sented by Dr. G. E. Manigault, C.M.Z.S., March 21st.

 animal gives us two pairs of this fine Deer now living in the 

 Society's Gardens. The present specimen was obtained in North- 

 western jSTebraska, and forwarded through the kind courtesy of 

 Mr. W. A. Conkliir, C.M.Z.S., of the Central Park Menagerie,
