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, 1914. 
Total number of animals exhibited in each class dur- 
ing the year: — 
Mammals 554 
Birds 989 
Reptiles 636 
Amphibians 37 
2,216 
The accessions of species not previously exhibited in 
the collection were : — 
White-crowned Monkey {Cercopithecus petronelloe But- 
tikof er) . 
Habitat, Upper Congo, Africa. 
A fine specimen of this exceedingly rare animal was 
obtained by purchase on May 29th; this species 
was but recently described by Dr. J. Buttikofer of 
Rotterdam, who says of it that with the exception 
of the type specimen there were but two examples 
known. 
Snow Leopard {Felis uncia Schreber). 
Hab., high mountain ranges of Central Asia, above 
an elevation of 8000 feet. 
A female of this beautiful species was received in fine 
condition on February 26th; a pair had been or- 
dered, but the male, unfortunately, died before it 
was shipped. The specific name of this species is 
exceptionally apt as the characteristic spots on the 
back and sides in many specimens are suggestive 
of the uncial characters found in early medieval 
manuscripts.
