664 THE SECRETARY ON ADDITIONS TO THE MENAGERIE. [ Nov. 1, 
morning with great satisfaction that he had secured for the Society 
on approval a male of the so-called “Andaman Monkey,” and that 
there could be no longer any doubt of its being a most distinct spe- 
cies, and quite new to us in this country. On visiting the Gardens 
next day to examine our new acquisition, I found that Mr. Bartlett’s 
statement was amply justified by the facts. ‘The male Monkey was 
certainly of a species quite new to myself and others, and one of 
which there was no specimen in the British Museum. But on 
showing it to Mr. Blyth, his experienced eye at once detected that 
it was of a species which had been received in Calcutta from Aracan 
in 1844, and, after several attempts to refer it to described species, 
had been named by him Inuus leoninus. 
I now exhibit a drawing by Mr. Wolf of this remarkable addition 
to our series of living Quadrumana. The species, as has been already 
observed, is no doubt most nearly allied to the Pig-tailed Macacus ne- 
mestrinus, but is at once recognizable by the peculiar crescent-shaped 
arrangement of the elevated hairs forming the crest on the head, the 
more vivid colouring, and the longer tail. An exact description 
must be deferred until the decease of the animal; but the accom- 
panying figure (Plate XXXV.) will render it easily recognizable. 
The total number of registered additions to the Society’s Mena- 
gerie during the month of July 1870 was 199; of these 27 were by 
birth, 31 by presentation, 121 by purchase, 1 by exchange, and 19 
were received on deposit. The total number of departures during 
the same period, by death and removals, was 168. 
The most remarkable additions during the month of July were :— 
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 it is known, in Europe. 
The Cygnets of the Trumpeter Swan are of a uniform ashy grey 
in their first plumage, darker than in the corresponding plumage of 
C. olor. They are now moulting, and seem to be whiter on the breast 
and darker on the back than the Common Swan at the same period. 
On the same day also (July 6th) a large and valuable collection 
of living animals, sent from the Zoological Gardens of Santiago, in 
Chili, under the care of Mr. Albert Weisshaupt, arrived in the 
Society’s Gardens. Of these the following selection, embracing 
exainples of all the best species, was acquired for the sum of £462 :—
