1886.] THE SECRETARY ON ADDITIONSTO THE MENAGERIE. 417 
November 16, 1886, 
Prof. W. H. Flower, LL.D., F.R.S., President, in the Chair. 
The Secretary read the following reports on the additions made 
to the Society’s Menagerie during the months of June, July, August, 
September, and October, 1886 :— 
The total number of registered additions to the Society’s Mena- 
gerie during the month of June was 226, of which 24 were by birth, 
129 by presentation, 52 by purchase, and 21 were received on 
_ deposit. The total number of departures during the same period 
by death and removals was 120. 
The following are of special interest :— 
1. A Glaucous Macaw (dra glauca), purchased of the Zoological 
Gardens, Antwerp, June 3rd. 
Of this near ally of Lear’s Macaw’ we have not previously 
possessed a living specimen. The present species is of nearly the 
same size and general coloration as A. leari, but is at once distin- 
guishable by the glaucous blue of the body. 
2. Two young Tcheli Monkeys (Macacus tcheliensis), presented 
by Dr. S. W. Bushell, C.M.Z.S., of Pekin, June 17th, obtained from 
the mountains near the “ Jung-ling,” or Eastern Mausoleum of the 
reigning dynasty of China, which is situated some 70 miles east 
of Pekin. The animals are covered with a thick fur, which fits 
them to endure the bitterly cold winter of this part of Northern 
China, where the thermometer frequently goes below zero of 
Fahrenheit. We are also indebted to Dr. Bushell for former 
examples of this Monkey. 
3. A Bald Ouakari (Brachyurus calous), 3 , purchased 12th June, 
of a dealer in Liverpool, new to the Society’s collection. 
Of the curious Monkeys of the genus Brachyurus, on which our 
late Prosector, Mr. Forbes, wrote an excellent paper in 1880 (see 
P. Z. 8. 1880, p. 627), we have already had specimens of B. 
melanocephalus and B. rubicundus, and we have now for the first 
time an example of the perhaps still more curious B. calvus, which, 
according to Castlenau, is confined to the forests on the north bank 
of the Amazons, between the rivers Putumayo and Japura. 
The registered additions to the Society’s Menagerie during the 
month of July were 166 in number ; of these 82 were acquired by 
presentation, 44 by purchase, 33 by birth, and 6 were received on 
deposit. One young Pheasant, received during the month, was 
bred from some eggs laid in the Society’s Gardens and sent into 
the country to be hatched. The total number of departures during 
the same period by death and removals was 105. 
Among the additions may be specially noticed two rare American 
Parrots—a Lear’s Macaw (Ara leari) and a Lineolated Parrakeet 
(Bolborhynchus lineolatus), acquired by purchase.
