Hon. Waldo Hutch ins,
President Department Public Parks :

The number of specimens exhibited this year as compared with the previous one, shows a decrease. -This was caused by a lack of proper accommodation for the birds. A great many of them were killed by the rats gaining entrance to the building by eating their way through the roof. A plan for a new aviary will be laid before you which 1 trust will be adopted, so that the birds will be safe in the future. We will thus be able to show these interesting specimens to much better advantage.

The most noticeable additions to the collection during the- past year were by donation, consisting of a Three-toed sloth, Bradypus tridactylvs, and an Electric eel, Oytnnotus dectricus : by exchange, an American civet cat, Bassarius astuta, very seldom seen alive in zoological collections, and a pair of young Elks, Cervus canadensis ; by birth, one Sea-lion, Zalophus gittespie, two Nylghaie antelope, Boselaphus tragocamehts, and one Hippopo- tamus, Hippopotamus amphibus.
The principal cause of death among the animals was con- gestion of the lungs. This disease seemed to make more havoc this year than during any previous ones. Among the most valuable specimens lost by it was a lioness, purchased March 4, 1S86 ; two pumas, one received in 1883, the other in 1885 ; one llama and one emu, both purchased in 1888 ; one sea-eagle died
5
after having been in the collection for eighteen years, and one migratory pigeon for thirteen years. One elk was killed on account of its crippled state, and its flesh was used to feed the animals. The bodies of the animals after having been first sub- jected to a. post mortem examination and points of interest noted for publication, were sent to the American Museum of Natural History for preservation.
The death of the young hippopotamus, which occurred four days after birth, and which was also due to the same disease, proved a serious lot-s. This animal was born on Sunday, Decem- ber 1, 1889, the parents having been previously separated. The mother appeared to be very fond of the young one. Thirty-six hours after birth it began to grow weak as it had not nursed up to that time, and I decided to remove it and feed it by hand. On Thursday it become listless and feverish and evinced a disin- clination for food. Believing it to have caught cold by a fall in the temperature of the Tuesday night previous, I prescribed the usual remedies, but it remained in the same state of lethargy until four o'clock on Fridaj morning when death took place. P< st mortem revealed congestion of the right lung.
The following measurements were taken :
Length from tip of nose to end of tail
Length of head

Circumference at shoulders
" abdomen
Height at shoulders
" pelvis
Breadth of head between ears

The European Zoological Gardens have been particularly un- fortunate in losing the first born of these animals. The first two

born in the London Garden lived two and four days respectively. The first two born in the Jardin des Plantes, Paris, wore killed by their parents shortly after birth. In the Amsterdam Garden the first two died from the neglect of their parents, and in St. Petersburg Garden the first three died from the same cause.

1 Sea-lion, Zalophus gillespie.
2 Zebus, Bos indicus.
1 Cape Buffalo, Bubalus cafre.
2 Xvlghaie, Boselaplnis tragocamdus.

1 Hippopotamus, Hippopotamus amphibus.
Birds.
1 Canada Goose, Branta canadensis.
3 White Swans, Cygnus olor.
5 Black Swans, Cygnus atratus.
The great difficulty experienced in breeding our water fowl arises from the practice of visitors to steal the eggs from the nests. Every year we have four or five of our swans' nests destroyed in this manner ; and this year, unthinking persons went so far as to carry off three young cygnets. Eggs were laid by the emu and sand-hill crane, but failed to prove fertile.
The amount of money expended in maintaining the col- lection was 830,049.59.

The improvements made during the year consisted of a new elephant house, size 50x40, containing three stalls. This much needed building is put up so that it can be removed to any other site when necessary. A bison paddock was prepared, giving these animals an opportunity to walk upon the natural soil. New houses and inclosures were built for the camels and aoudads and seven paddocks for the antelope, so as to give these animals open air exercise.
A Southdown rani, bred from imported stock, was presented to the Department by Dr. W. Seward Webb; 55 Southdown lambs were bred during the past season ; 35 of these, with 6 ewes, were sold at public auction, together with the fleeces, realizing the sum of $509.
On the 23d of April, Mr. Eugene Schieffelin set at liberty in the Park, 72 European starlings Sturnus vulgaris. These birds remained in the Park several weeks, and afterwards made their way north. The last seen of them was about Fort Schuyler on Long Island Sound. It is to be hoped, if they were spared by the bird catchers, that they will return to the Park this coming spring.
Accompanying this will be found a classified list of the animals exhibited, together with a list of donors for the past year.
Yery respectfully,
