1869.] THE SECRETARY ON ADDITIONS TO THE MENAGERIE. 467 
November 11th, 1869. 
George Busk, Esq., F.R.S., V.P., in the Chair. 
The Secretary read the list of additions to the Menagerie during 
the past four months, amongst which were particularly noticed :— 
1. A Guacharo, or Oil-bird (Steatornis caripensis), taken from 
one of the caves inhabited by these birds in Trinidad, and presented 
to the Society by the Hon. Arthur Gordon, C.M.Z.S., Governor of 
the Island (received June 29th). Mr. Gordon had started from 
Trinidad with six of these singular birds alive ; but five of them had 
died upon the passage, and the present specimen had only survived 
a few days after reaching the Society’s Gardens. Enough had been 
done, however, to show that it was quite possible, with care and 
precaution, to bring the Guacharo alive to this country. 
2. An example of a species of Macaque Monkey from the Anda-
