May 23rd. TLcsc diminutive Pigs did not, unfortunately, Ion;? 

 survive their birth ; hut the fact of the species having bred in 

 captivity is of great interest. 



9. A fine osamplo of the Surucucu or Bush-master Snake of 

 South America (Lachcsis mutus), presented by J. Y. Earklej', 

 Esq., of rernambuco, on the 22nd May. 



10. A Rough-billed Pelican (Pelecanus iraclnjrJii/ncJius), from 

 Mexico, purchased July 3rd, being the first example of this 

 species ■which we have received. 



11. A male and two female Babirussas (Baliri(s$a alfitnts), 

 from Celebes, presented by Dr. F. H. Bauer, C.M.Z.S., and 

 received July 23rd. One of the female Babirussas produced a 

 young one shortly before the termination of the voyage home, 

 which reached England safely in company with its mother. 



12. Two young Mulo Deer (Cariacits macrotis), born in the 

 Gardens, August 12th, from the specimens presented to the 

 Society by Dr. J. D. Caton, C.M.Z.S. This is believed to be 

 the first instance of the breeding of this fine American Deer in 

 Europe. 



13. A young female Chimpanzee, purchased October 24th, 

 which seems perhaps referable to the form named by M. Du 

 Chaillu Troglodytes caluiis (Proc. Boston Soc. of Nat. Hist. vol. vii. 

 p. 296). The head is very sparingly covered with hairs, the 

 ears are longer and more prominent than in the ordinary Chim- 

 panzee, and the hands and feet are quite black. 



14. A young pair of the singular Deer of Mantchuria called 

 Pore David's Deer (Cervus davidicinus), purchased November 16th 

 of the Societe d'Acclimatation of Paris. The only previous spe- 

 cimens of this animal in the Society's Menagerie were the pair 

 presented in 1869 by Sir Eutherford Alcock, X.C.B.* The 

 present pair were bred in the Zoological Garden of Berlin from 

 imported parents.
