REPORT OF THE SECRETARY. 67 
fallow deer, 6 white-tailed deer, 6 European red deer, 1 yellow- 
haired porcupine, 4 raccoons, 6 coypus, 3 rhesus monkeys, 1 dusky 
phalanger, 1 rufous-bellied wallaby, 1 great gray kangaroo, 4 red 
kangaroos, 8 opossums, and 2 brush-tailed rock kangaroos. The 
birds hatched are of the following species: Demoiselle crane, Ameri- 
can coot, Florida cormorant, night heron, wild turkey, golden 
pheasant, peafowl, scaled quail, mute swan, Canada goose, mallard, 
black duck, and wood duck. 
_. Hechanges—There were received during the year 11 mammals 
and 70 birds in exchange for surplus animals born in the park. 
The mammals were 2 prong-horned antelopes, 2 Indian water buf- 
faloes, 3 beavers, 3 spider monkeys, and 1 Burmese macaque. Many 
desirable water fowl, including coscoroba and black swans, Hutchins’s 
geese, European widgeon, European teal, garganey teal, black- 
bellied tree ducks, and spur-winged geese, as well as numerous land 
birds needed for the collection, were received through exchange. 
Species new to the collection are the black-gorgeted laughing 
thrush, crimson tanager, blue tanager, thick-billed euphonia, dia- 
mond dove, bar-shouldered dove, short-keeled toucan, and a fine 
specimen of the remarkable Goliath heron from Africa. 
Purchases.—Because of lack of funds only 38 mammals, birds, and 
reptiles were purchased during the year. A Malayan sun bear was 
obtained in San Francisco, a fallow deer buck was purchased for 
breeding, and a few small mammals were bought from time to 
time. Additions to the American waterfowl lake were 6 brants, 2 
white-fronted geese, 10 black ducks, and an immature whistling 
swan. Two Florida sandhill cranes and a pair of bronze-wing 
pigeons, with some commoner hawks and owls, also were purchased. 
Transfers —Both the Biological Survey of the Department of 
Agriculture and the Bureau of Fisheries, Department of Commerce, 
contributed to the collection by the transfer of material collected 
by their agents in the field. From the Biological Survey was re- 
ceived an Apache grizzly bear and a mountain lion from New Mex- 
ico, a blue goose from Missouri, and two pigmy ground rattlers and 
a water snake from Florida. The Apache grizzly, new to the col- 
lection, is one of the recently defined species of the grizzly bear 
now nearing extinction. The specimen, a young male, was cap- 
tured July 22, 1918, by T. J. McMullin and Bob Reid, 22 miles 
southeast of Taos, N. Mex., and was forwarded to the park by M. E. 
Musgrave, of the Biological Survey. It was apparently about 8 
months old when received. A few turtles from Georgia were trans- 
ferred from the Bureau of Fisheries. } 
Captured in the park.—A few birds captured in the park were 
added to the collection.
