Births. — During the year 58 mammals and 28 reptiles were born, 

 and 64 birds were hatched in the park. These records include only- 

 such as are reared to a reasonable age, no account being made in 

 these published statistics of young that live only a few days. Mam- 

 mals born include : Manchurian tiger, 4 ; dingo, 6 ; Florida otter, 3 ; 

 raccoon, 2 ; graj'- wolf, 1 ; hippopotamus, 1 ; Rocky Mountain sheep, 1 ; 

 tahr, 1 ; East African eland, 1 ; American bison, 1 ; llama, 1 ; Indian 

 antelope, 1 ; Virginia deer, 3 ; hog deer, 2 ; Japanese deer, 5 ; fallow 

 deer, 2 ; red deer, 5 ; barasingha, 1 ; brush-tailed rock wallaby, 2 ; 

 rufous-bellied wallaby, 3; black-tailed wallaby, 1; great red kanga- 

 roo, 5; wallaroo, 1; Trinidad agouti, 2; rhesus monkey, 2; green 

 guenon, 1, Reptiles : Ground rattlesnake, 1 ; copperhead, 27. Birds 

 hatched were of the following species : Greater snow goose, Canada 

 goose, wood duck, pintail, black duck, mallard, American coot, black- 

 crowned night heron, peafowl, ring-necked pheasant, and European 

 wood pigeon. 



The young Manchurian tigers were born August 19, 1921, and at 

 the close of the year were fine, thrifty animals, of good growth. The 

 hippopotamus, born April 27, 1922, is the third young successfully 

 reared in the gardens from the same pair of animals. The success 

 in rearing a young mountain sheep ram last year makes it seem 

 probable that the lamb born this spring will also develop into a 

 perfect animal. 



Exchaaiges. — A number of valuable animals were received in ex- 

 change for surplus stock. The accessions include 19 mammals, 166 

 birds, and 8 reptiles. Special mention should be made of a panda, 

 three yellow-footed rock wallabies, an aard-wolf, and a Hagenbeck's 

 mangabey, none of which have before been on exhibition in the
