The Secretary read the following report on the additions to Society's Menagerie during the month of December 1895:- The total number of registered additions to the Society's Menagerie during the month of December was 98, of which 57 were by presentation, 1 by exchange, 34 by purchase, and 6 were received on deposit. The total number of departures daring the same period, by death and removals, was 92. Amongst these attention may be called to the two specimens of Forsten's Lorikeet (Trichoglossus forsteni), obtained by purchase.

Tegetmeier exhibited some drawings by Mr. Frohawk of two young King-Penguins (Aptenodytes forsteri) in down plumage, living in the Society's Gardens. PBOO. ZOOL. Soc-1896, No. I. 1 |
