December 5, 1893. 



Sir W. H. Flowee, K.C.B., LL.D., F.E.S., President, in the 



Chair. 



The Secretary read the following report on the additions to the 

 Society's Menagerie during the month of November 1893 : — 



The total number of registered additions to the Society's Mena- 

 gerie during the month of November was 71, of which 44 were by 

 presentation, 4 were by birth, 10 by purchase, and 13 received on 

 deposit. The total number of departures during the same period, 

 by death and removals, was 99. 



The most noticeable additions dimng the month were : — 



1. A Cunning Bassaris (Bassaris astuta), purchased November 

 15th. No example of this interesting carnivorous animal has been 

 exhibited in the Society's collection for many years. The only 

 individual previously received was in the Grardens in 1853, and was 

 the subject of one of Mr. Wolf's Zoological Sketches. (See "Wolf 

 and Scl., Zoological Sketches, vol. i. pi. xiv.). 



2. Two Jerboas, presented by Capt. E. A. Ogilby, P.Z.S., 

 November 17th, and believed to be referable to one of the Persian 

 Jerboas (Alactaga clemmana), but the locality of these specimens is 

 not quite cei'tain. 



3. A fine adrlt female of the Caucasian Goat {Capra caucasica), 

 presented by H. H. P. Deasy, Esq., 16th Queen's Lancers, Nov. 

 20th. Mr. Deasy informs me that he obtained a pair of these 

 animals (the " Tur " of the Caucasus) at a village called Euzbef 

 on the river Backsan, lat. 43° 20' 0" N., long. 20° 43' 35" E.,_and 

 had every reason to believe that they were caught on the neigh- 

 bouring mountains. 



Unfortunately the male died on the passage home.
