March 6, 1900. 

 W. T. Blantobd, Esq., LL.D., F.R.S., V.P., in the Chair. 



The Secretary read the following report on the additions to the 

 Society's Menagerie during the month of February 1900 : — 



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

 gerie during the month of February was 123, of which 17 were 

 by presentation. 6 by purchase, 99 were received on deposit, and 

 1 was received in exchange. The total number of departures 

 during the same period, by death and removals, was 132. 



Amongst the additions attention may be called to two young 

 Tcheli Monkevs (Macacns tekeliensis), presented by Dr. S. W. 

 Bushell, C.M.G., C.M.Z.S., on February 10th. 



Dr. Bushell on quitting China kindly forwarded to us these two 

 Monkeys, supposing that the two individuals presented by him in 

 1880 (see P. Z. S. 1880, p. 537) might be failing in health, but 1 

 am happy to say that one of these animals (the male) is still well 

 and strong.
