PROCEEDINGS 
OF THE 
SCIENTIFIC MEETINGS 
OF THE 
ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. 
January 5, 1875. 
Dr. E. Hamilton, V.P., in the Chair. 
The Secretary read the following report on the additions to the 
Society’s Menagerie during the month of December 1874. 
The total number of registered additions to the Society’s Mena- 
gerie during the month of December was 47, of which 16 were by 
presentation, 17 by purchase, 4 by exchange, and 10 were received 
on deposit. The total number of departures during the same period, 
by death and removals, was 104. 
The most noticeable additions during the month of December were 
as follows :— 
1. A Campbell’s Monkey (Cercopithecus campbelli), purchased 
15th December. 
This scarce West-African Monkey, which was originally described 
by Mr. Waterhouse in our ‘ Proceedings’ (1838, p. 6), and sub- 
sequently figured in Fraser’s ‘Zoologia Typica’ (pl. iii.), is seldom 
received alive. The present example is a young female. I have 
only previously seen one other living example of this species. 
2. Two Hardwicke’s Mastigures (Uromastix hardwickii), pre- 
sented by Lieut.-Col. C. S. Sturt, C.M.Z.S., 23rd December. 
3. A young pair of the Pampas Deer of the interior of Brazil and 
Buenos Ayres (Cervus campestris), purchased December 23rd. 
This Deer is seldom met with in living collections. We have had 
no examples of it in the Society’s Gardens since 1860.
