782 THE SECRETARY ON ADDITIONS TO THE MENAGERIE. [Noy. 17, 
Amongst the additions I may invite special attention to the 
following :— 
1. A rare Fruit-Bat (Pteropus pselaphon), from the Bonin 
Islands, obtained by Capt. Kemp in China, and presented 
September 2nd. 
2. A Red-footed Squirrel (Sciurus pyrrhopus), from Monravia, 
West Africa, presented by Ellis Edwards, Esq. 
Both these species are new to the Society’s List. 
The registered additions to the Society’s Menagerie during the 
month of October were 217 in number. Of these 184 were 
acquired by presentation, 8 by purchase, 4 were born in the 
Gardens, 9 were received in exchange, and 12 on deposit. The 
total number of departures during the same period, by death and 
removals, was 112. 
Amongst these, special attention is called to the following :— 
1. Three Franklin’s Gulls (Larus franklini), purchased at 
Liverpool, October 9th, and stated to have been received from 
North America. These are the first specimens of this black- 
headed Gull (kindly determined for us by Mr. Howard Saunders) 
that have reached the Collection.
