North Carolina, presented by Dr. Norton Downs; and a 
remarkably fine grey lagothrix monkey, from Brazil, pre- 
sented in October by Mr. George W. C. Drexel. 
It is interesting to observe that concurrently with the 
practical elimination of tuberculosis from the Monkey House — 
but one outbreak, strictly limited in extent, having occurred 
in the past two and a half years — increased fertility seems to 
have developed, no fewer than seven monkeys and one lemur 
having been bred during the year.
