10 
weeks old at the time of its capture, near Field, 
British Columbia. It was secured for the Society 
through the interest of Mr. George Vaux, of Phila- 
delphia, and his sons, and reached the Gardens on 
October ist in perfect condition. In December an 
agreement was entered into by which some animals 
were loaned by the Zoological Society to the Inter- 
national Forest, Fish and Game Association, for 
the purpose of their annual exposition, in return 
for which certain animals were received by the 
Society as a gift. Among these was a female goat 
from Idaho. The presence of a pair of these rare 
animals in the Gardens is an event of unusual 
interest.
