obtained by purchase from the Société d’Acclimatation of 
Paris. 
4. Two Guinea-fowls, received on the same 1e day from the 
Société Zoologique d’Acclimatation—belonging to the sec- 
tion allied to Numida cristata, forming the genus Guttera 
of Wagler. These are the typical specimens on which 
Mr. Elliot has established his Numida verreauai. 
5. A Black-headed Conure (Conurus nandaya), probably 
from Paraguay or the upper La Plata, being the first ex- 
ample of this scarce Parrot that has been received alive. 
6. A young male of the Black Wallaroo (Osphranter 
robustus, Gould, Mamm. of Austr. ii. pl. 11), being the first 
individual of this fine large Kangaroo that has reached the 
Society’s Gardens alive. This animal was obtained by 
purchase from Mr. Hagenbeck, of Hamburg, on the 16th 
of May. 
7. A male of the very singular Huia-bird of New Zea- 
land (Heteralocha gouldi), obtained by purchase on the 
18th of May. Much interest attaches to this form on 
account of the extraordinary variation of the bill in the 
two sexes. 
8. A Tuatera Lizard (Sphenodon punctatum), purchased 
May 20th. A specimen of this extraordinary Lizard has 
been once before living in the Society’s Gardens, having 
been deposited there by Dr. Giinther in 1868. The pre-

the’ islands on the northern coast of New Zealand.

from North Australia, being the first examples of this 
species ever brought alive to Kurope. 
10. An example of a rare Macaque (Macacus ocreatus), 
purchased May 31st. This Monkey seems never yet to 
have been obtained by any collector ; and its exact locality 
is unknown.
