GARDENS AND MENAGERIE. 
The number of animals exhibited during the year was: — 
For reasons not altogether evident, the variety of species 
available in all classes of animals has been less than usual, 
and the number new to the collection has been relatively 
small. 
1. Mlurus fulgens F. Cuv. Panda. 
Hab., eastern Himalayas. 
One female. Purchased April 26th. 
This species quite definitely appears to be related to 
the raccoons, in which case it is the only member 
of the family now existing outside of America. Fossil 
remains have been found, however, in England, 
which indicate a much wider extension of panda- 
like forms in an earlier period. 
2. Dipodomys elator Merr. Loring's Kangaroo Rat. 
Hab., northern Texas. 
Two specimens of this showy species received from 
Seymour, Baylor County, Texas, in August. 
3. Reithrodontomys griseus Bailey. Little Grey Harvest 
Mouse. 
Hab., central Texas. 
Four examples, also from Seymour, seem to belong to 
this recently described species. 
4. Peromyscus attwateri J. A. Allen. Attwater's White- 
footed Mouse. 
Hab., western Texas. 
In many cases identification of these small living 
rodents can be only provisional. Two mice from
