REPORT OF THE SECRETARY. 71 



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. 



Exchanges. — 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 

 tim.e. 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. 



Deposited.— Ks usual, a number of desirable exhibition speci- 

 mens were accepted on temporary deposit. These included for the
