cinnati Garden, we now have as distantly related a 
pair of these remarkable animals as it is possible to 
obtain. 
A male Burchell's Zebra and a female Mountain 
Zebra were received on February 10th, each as a mate 
for others of the same species but of opposite sex then 
in the collection. 
A pair each of Dromedaries and Bactrian Camels 
were received, the former on April 4th and the latter 
on November 12th. 
Four Black-footed Penguins arrived on June 20th. 
Six monkeys were born during the year, two in the 
Monkey House and four in the outdoor cage, this is 
an unusual number for one season, and as, with the 
exception of one which died shortly after birth, they 
are all thriving, a most satisfactory condition of health 
and vigor is indicated in the collection of primates. 
Young i^monkeys, born in captivity, seldom reach 
maturity, but as these are all about the same size, they 
will be placed together in an outdoor cage during the 
warm weather in the hope that companionship and 
fresh air will lead to a more favorable result. 
A ring-tailed lemur was born in March, its rapid 
growth — it is now almost as large as its parents — is in 
strong contrast to the slow physical development of 
the monkeys, but one step above the lemurs in zoo- 
logical position. 
Another notable birth was that of three grizzly 
bears; the mother of these cubs has, for two years in 
succession and on the same day, January 8th, given 
birth to young, those of last year lived only a day or 
two, but on the date of this report, this year's young 
are alive and thriving. The Society now possesses 
eight grizzly bears, more than it ever before owned at 
one time. 
A California hair seal, which was born on May 26th, 
has successfully passed through its puppy stage, and 
is now almost entirely on a fish diet and is growing 
rapidly.
