H. Simpson, May 22nd, being one of three specimens obtained in 
the neighbourhood of Darjeeling, as mentioned by the Secretary 
in a former communication to the Society (anted, p. 278). Two of 
the animals of this species, with which Dr. Simpson had started 
from Caleutta, had unfortunately died upon the voyage; the third 
Ailurus fulgens. 
had reached the Gardens in a very exhausted state, but was gra- 
dually recovering under the care of the Superintendent. Its food 
appeared to be mainly of a vegetable nature.

fuscus) in immature plumage, presented by Captain Dow, F.Z.S., 
of the Royal Pacific Steamship Company’s ship ‘ Costa Rica,’ and
