MENAGERIE. 
The condition of the Menagerie, and the incidents attending 
the operation of the Garden during the past year, will be found 
fully set forth in the reports of the General Superintendent and 
Prosector, Appendices B and C. 
The Board acknowledge with thanks the gifts to the Society 
of an oil painting, " Giraffes,'' by the artist, Mr. Newbold 
Trotter, and by Mr. James L. Claghorn of forty-three handsome 
prints of zoological subjects, framed ; also, at the suggestion of 
the same well-wisher to the Society, the receipt by them of a 
very fine line engraving in the first state by Schmuzer, after 
Snyders, of " Eagles on a Dead Wolf," presented to them by 
Mr. Frederick Keppel, of New York. 
The continued kindness of the many friends of the Society 
in all parts of the country also claims the thanks of the Society.
