has attracted considerable attention amongst the visitors 
to the Society’s Gardens by smoking pipes and playing 
other extraordinary tricks. It has since been shown that 
the so-called Andaman Monkey is the female of the pre- 
sent species, of which the Society has now obtained a fine 
male. 
July 1870. 
1. Three Trumpeter Swans (Cygnus buccinator), hatched 
on the Three-island Pond in the Society’s Gardens on 
July 6th, being the first instance of this American species 
having bred in the Society’s Gardens, and, as far as is 
known, in Europe. 
2. Two Chilian Skunks (Mephitis chilensis). 
3. A pair of the Magellanic Wolf (Canis magellanicus), 
‘of which the Society have never before received living 
examples. 
4, A specimen of the Condor (Sarcorhamphus gryphus), 
very remarkable for the enormous development of the 
wattles on the head and throat, and resembling the figure 
of this bird given in Temminck’s Pl. Col. 494, from a spe- 
cimen formerly in the Leverian Museum. 
5. Three Burmeister’s Cariamas (Chunga burmeisteri). 
The acquisition of living examples of this recently dis- 
covered second form of the peculiar Neotropical family 
Cariamidz is of special interest. 
6. Two Coscoroba Swans (Cygnus coscoroba). These 
are the first examples of this beautiful little Swan that 
have reached us alive. 
_7. Three pairs of the Rosy-billed Duck (Metopiana 
peposaca). A single male of this fine Duck was received 
in 1867. We have obtained three pairs, so that. there is 
every hope for the continuance of the species. 
8. Specimens of the Chilian Pin-tail (Dajfila spinicauda), 
new to the Society’s collection. 
9. Specimens of the Chiloe Widgeon (Mareca chiloensis). 
The Chiloe Widgeon also, although well known in collec- 
tions, is new to our series of living Anatidz, and forms a 
fine addition to them. 
10. A young Hornbill, of a species closely allied to 
Buceros cylindricus, for which the Secretary has proposed 
the name Buceros subcylindricus. 
11. A male specimen of the Ethiopian Ant-Bear. (Oryc-
