of Central America. It proved to be the variety of the 
common iguana known as Iguana tuberculata rhinolopha, 
and was new to the collection. 
19. A specimen of rare interest was secured in August 
by purchase from the steward of a trading vessel from 
Brazil, in a red ouakari (Brachyurus rubicundus). No speci- 
men of this little-known monkey has probably ever been 
exhibited before in this country, and but few abroad. Un- 
fortunately the best accommodations offered by the present 
monkey-house are not suited to the care of specially deli- 
cate subjects, and the one in question died during the cold 
weather of January, having attracted much notice during 
the five months of its life in the Garden. 
20. An Indian antelope (Antilope cervicapra), purchased 
in August, is probably as fine a specimen of this beautiful 
species as could be found. 
21. A pair of upland geese (Bernicla magellanica), from 
the Falkland Islands, was for the first time exhibited. 
22. In September, two somewhat rare lizards, the Egyp- 
tian monitor ( Varanus niloticus) and Hardwick's mastigure 
(Uromastix hardwicki) from India, were presented by Dr. 
Conklin, Director of the Central Park Menagerie, New York, 
and a number of the curious worm-like lizards, Anguis 
fragilis, of Europe, were purchased. 
23. An anaconda (Eunectes murinns), measuring about 
twelve feet in length, was a Avelcome addition to the reptile 
house. 
24. Levaillant's amazon (Chrysotis levaillanti), from Mex- 
ico. 
25. Another member of the South American Corvidse was 
added to the extensive collection of these birds — the blue- 
bearded jay (Cyanocorax cyanopogon). 
26. A number of monkeys were purchased in November, 
among which was one which appears to be the brown ma- 
caque (Macacus arctoides), from Burmah. 
27. The Acadian owl (Nyctale acadica), although one of the 
most common of the smaller American owls, had never been 
exhibited in our Garden until November, when a specimen 
was received by presentation.
