1 Mazame Deer (Cervus campestris). 
3 Fallow Deer (Cervus dama). 
1 Bactrian Camel {Camelm bactrianus). 
12 Prairie Dogs {Cynomes ludovicianus). 
1 Great Kangaroo {Macropus giganteus). 
1 Ground Parrakeet (Calopsitta novse-hollandids). 
4 Reeve's Pheasants (Phasianus reevesi). 
1 Pea Fowl {Pavo cristata).

The losses by death have been small, and for the most 
part have been confined to animals of minor importance. 
A rigid economy has been observed in all departments of 
the management, and the cost of maintenance has been 
reduced even below the figures of previous years, without 
seriously impairing its efficiency. No work has been un- 
dertaken beyond such repairs as were necessary to the pres- 
ervation of the property of the Society, and a small outlay 
will probably be sufficient to meet needs arising, to this end, 
during the coming year. 
The expenditure for purchase of animals has been main- 
ly devoted to filling gaps in the collection, which — it may 
be justly claimed — presents to-day a greater and more typi- 
cal variety of animal forms, in furtherance of the educational 
facilities which have been one of the chief aims of the 
Society, than at any previous period of the history of the 
Garden. 
Respectfully, 
ARTHUR ERWIN BROWN. 
Zoological Garden, March 1st, 1885.
