Another important addition to the Society’s living collec- 
tion during the past year was a young male Walrus, pur- 
chased in November 1867 at the cost of £204 10s. 6d. 
This animal was captured in Davis’s Straits by Captain 
Richard: Wells, of the steam whaler ‘ Arctic,’ belonging to 
Messrs. Alexander Stephen and Co., on the 28th of August 
last, under the following circumstances :—A herd of from 
200 to 300 of these animals was met with on the ice by 
the ‘ Arctic’ in lat. 69° N., long. 64° W. A boat’s crew 
was landed on the ice and the herd attacked and several 
individuals killed, amongst which was a large female. The 
body of the latter being attached to the boat and rowed 
towards the vessel was followed by a young male, who 
swam and dived around and refused to quit his deceased 
parent. This being noted, he was captured by a noose 
swung over his head and one fore limb, from the ship, and 
hauled on board. For some days the captive was kept 
tied to a ring-bolt on deck, and refused food altogether.
