APPENDIX 4. 
Mr. Victor J. Evans, of Washington, D.C., 
showed continued interest in the exhibit by de- 
positing some desirable Australian marsupials, 
including two wombats and a nail-tailed wallaby, 
both new to the collection. 
Births. — Fifty-two mammals were born, and 
births include 3 bears, 1 hippopotamus, 8 red 
deer, 1 Bedford deer, 2 elk, 2' mile deer, 2 Vir- 
ginia deer, 1 fallow deer, 1 axis deer, 2i hog deer, 
4 barasingha deer, 3 Japanese deer, 1 black buck, 
1 yak, 3 bison, 1 Rocky Mountain sheep 1 , 1 aou- 
dad, 2i guanacos, 3 llamas, 2< great red kangaroos, 
1 wallaroo, 6 coypus, and 1 monkey. The birds 
hatched include Canada geese, ducks, Java spar- 
rows, and peafowl. The hippopotamus is the 
first one born in the park, and one of very few 
ever 1 born in America. It is a thrifty male and 
has attracted great attention. 
Exchanges. — In exchange for surplus ani- 
mals the park received 12 mammals and 62i birds. 
A drill, a young male sea lion, a pair of scarlet 
ibises, and numerous ducks for the North Ameri- 
can waterfowl lake v ere obtained in this manner, 
as well as other specimens much needed to fill 
gaps in the collection. 
Purchases. — Owing to lack of sufficient funds 
for the purchase of animals, many desirable 
species greatly needed in the collection, and offered 
from time to time, could not be obtained. A 
total of 26 mammals, 23 birds, and 22 reptiles 
were received through purchase, mostly small 
native species at low cost. 
Transfers. — Pour elk were le^eived from 
Yellowstone Park through the Department of 
the Interior, but only two reached Washington 
in good condition and were saved. These were 
shipped East with a carload of elk for the State 
of Virginia, and were obtained with the idea of 
introducing new blood in ihe rerd maintained at 
the park. The Biological Survey, of the Depart- 
ment of Agriculture, transferrel to the park cer- 
tain North American mammals, including a moun- 
tain lion from Arizona, a dusky marmot from 
New Mexico, and some mountain beavers from 
Washington. 
Captured in the park. — One bird and one 
reptile, captured within tne boundaries of the 
park, were added to the collection. 
Deposited. — Hon. R. M. Barnes, of Lacon, 
111., sent to the park as a 1 jan a male of the al-
