ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY BULLETIN 



A YOUNG PIG-TAILED MACAQUE. 



vigorous. His countenance is not so hand- 

 some as that of his rival, and his hair, which 

 became much worn during his captivity in the 

 Far East, is still short and scanty. He is quite 

 wilful in disposition, even to contrariness, and 

 takes his training rather grudgingly. When 

 prevented by force from following out his in- 

 clinations he frequently threatens to bite. 



The fourth member of the Orang family, 

 little Sultan, is, in the terms of the track, " a 

 dark horse." At present, with his big, round 

 head, small mouth, protruding stomach, and 

 no hair to speak of, to look at him is to smile. 

 But Sultan is a thoroughbred, and Rajah's 

 understudy. He is very intelligent, very tract- 

 able, learns quickly, and goes through his 

 table performance with the steadiness of a 

 clock. When a flashlight sends Sally in a wild 

 leap across the table into Rajah's arms, little 

 Sultan sits in his place, spoon in mouth, all 

 unmoved. If he lives he will become famous. 



In all probability the next anthropoid ape 

 species to be added to the collection will be 

 the gibbon; and, next year the Society hopes 

 to secure a gorilla. 



BLACK SPIDER MONKEY. 



Fully 500 garter snakes have been born in the Reptile 

 House, the past summer. Most of them have been libera- 

 ted in the vicinity of the small ponds to maintain the 

 species.
