SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT. 
To the Board of Directors of the Zoological Society of 
Philadelphia: 
Gentlemen: — I beg to submit my report for the year 
ending February 28th, 1915. 
Total number of animals exhibited in each class dur- 
ing the year: — 
Mammals 562 
Birds 1,052 
Reptiles 616 
Amphibians 49 
2,279 
The species and sub-species exhibited in the collection 
for the first time were: — 
Noisy Douroucouli {Aotes vociferans Spix). 
Habitat, Upper Amazon. 
A female of this species, one of the rarest of the night 
monkeys, was presented on November 22d by the 
Museum of the University of Pennsylvania. 
Red-ruffed Lemur (Lemur varius ruber E. Geoff roy). 
Hab., Madagascar. 
A male and female in perfect condition were acquired 
by purchase on March 15th. This is the handsomest 
and most brilliantly colored of all the lemurs and is 
now considered a sub-species of the black-and-white 
lemur, although formerly looked upon as one of its 
numerous variations. This pair, with several others 
of the same kind, composed, almost certainly, the 
first invoice of these animals to arrive in this country. 
Jungle Cat (Felis chaus Guldenstadt). 
Hab., India and North Africa. 
A male and two females of this distinctively graceful 
form of the Felidse were purchased on May 14th. 
These animals breed freely with the domestic cat
