1903. ] ON CERCOCEBUS ATERRIMUS AND LUTRA CAPENSIS. 191 
March 3, 1903. 
G. A. Boutencer, Esq., F.R.S., Vice-President, 
in the Chair. 
The Secretary read the following report on the additions made 
to the Society’s Menagerie in February 1903 :-— 
The registered additions to the Society’s Menagerie during the 
month of February were 57 in number. Of these 8 were acquired 
by presentation, 48 were received on deposit and 1 on approval. 
The total number of departures during the same period, by death 
and removals, was 105. 
Amongst the additions special attention may be directed to :— 
1. An example of Cuvier’s Gazelle (Gazella cwvieri), deposited 
by the Hon. Walter Rothschild, M.P., F.Z.S., on Feb. 9th. No 
example of this rare North-African Gazelle has been exhibited in 
the Gardens since 1867. 
2. A Tamandua Anteater (Vamandua tetradactyla) from South 
America, received on approval on Feb. 12th. This is a very 
healthy and lively specimen of an animal which we have not had 
living in the Gardens for some years. 
3. A young male Chimpanzee (Anthropopithecus troglodytes) 
about a year old, deposited by Mr. J. C. Lamprey, of the West 
African Regiment, on Feb. 18th. This animal is said to have 
been obtained at Kronko in the French Soudan, and was brought 
home from Sierra Leone by the depositor. It is in very good 
health. 
4, A Frilled Lizard (Chlamydosaurus kingi) from Australia is 
the second example of this species received at the Gardens, the 
first having been presented by Mr. Saville Kent some seven years 
ago. The present specimen was presented by Mr. H. W. Fawdon 
on February 18th. 
The Secretary read the following extracts from a letter addressed 
to Mr. P. L. Sclater by Major C. Delmé Radcliffe from Uganda, 
and exhibited the skins of a Monkey (Cercocebus aterrimus) and 
an Otter (Lutra capensis) obtained by his collector Mr. Doggett, 
and sent home by parcel post, at the same time :— 
“YT am sending you the skins of two monkeys—one completely 
prepared with bones, and the skin of the other, also skulls of both. 
The animals were both female. Doggett got them for me a few 
days ago, as I had sent him collecting by road here from Entebbe. 
This monkey is quite new tome. I shall be glad to hear from you 
if it is a new species. It is very interesting, and the skull has some 
interesting features, for instance the small canines. The hair is 
curiously like a Chimpanzee’s. Doggett tells me he thought from 
the noise they made that they were Chimpanzees at first. Is it a 
true Cercopithecus? It interests me very much, and I shall be
