PHILADELPHIA, April 26th, 1877.

The Board of Directors of the Zoological Society of
Philadelphia submit to the members and loan-certificate
holders, this, their fifth annual report, of the business and
operations of the Society, from Ist of March, 1876, to ist of
March, 1877.

MEMBERS.

The number of members of the Society, on the Ist of

March, 1877, was:—

Annual members, . 774
Life members, . ‘ ' ; : 188
Corresponding members, . : 9

During the year three members have died, and four
transferred from Annual to Life Members.

The number of loan-holders is 496. Professor Spencer
F. Baird, of the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C.,
and Dr. Henry C. Yarrow, U.S. A., were elected honorary
members.

VISITORS.

The influx of strangers coming to the Centennial Ex-
hibition, as was expected, has largely added to the number
of visitors to the garden. But although the number was
great, the crowd was not of so long a duration as was anti-
cipated ; two months including half the number of visitors
for the year: -From ist March, 1876, to Ist Marchy aay
657,295 persons visited the garden; a larger number, it is
believed, than ever entered a similar institution during the
same space of time, and an increase over the preceding
twelve months of 237,519 persons. The total receipts at
the gates were $151,060.63—an amount from sucha source
the largest ever known. The largest receipts of the Lon-
don Zoological Society, which was in the year 1875, were
$143,690; the increase of which, according to the report of
that year, was due to two sources— interest on invest-
ments, and donations and bequests. Since the closing of
the exhibition, the garden has felt the financial depression
under which the country is laboring, and its receipts are
sensibly affected. In the next year we must look for a very
material reduction in our revenue from this source.

The following tables show the number of admissions and
gate receipts in detail for the past year:—

Adults (paying 25 cents at the gates), : 579,249
Children (paying 10 cents at the gates), . 57,114
Members (including life and annual mem- :

bers, loan-holders’ annual and compli-

mentary annual tickets,) : 5,299
Loan-holders’ tickets (single), . : 11,489

IMPROVEMENTS.

During the year the entire northern end of the garden
has been graded, underdrained, and planted. Two hand-
some lodge gate houses, with ornamental iron entrance
gates and sign, the whole costing $9,150, have been erected.
The concourse in front of the northern entrance has been
graded, graveled, and curbed. By an arrangement between
the Fairmount Park Art Association and this Society, the
circle in the centre of this place will be occupied by the
bronze statue of the Dying Lioness—thus adding an appro-
priate ornament to the already handsome approach. The
carriage sheds, capable of accommodating twenty-six car-
riages, have been completed at a cost of $4,078.80. A
Reptile house, which, although not intended for a perma-
nent structure, will sufficiently answer our needs in this
‘respect for some time, costing $1,200, rabbit warrens,
costing $855, and ponds for Seals, Otters, etc., costing
$5,040.75, have been finished. Also a palm house for the
protection during the winter of the tropical and ornamental
plants of the society, at a cost of $3,275. A house for the
accommodation of warm-climated hay-eating animals is now
under construction, from the plans of George W. Hewitt,
Esq. When finished it will be one hundred and thirty feet
long by fifty-eight feet six inches broad, with outside open-
air paddocks; it will contain eighteen pens of good dimen-
tions, and its estimated cost is $18,000. Revolving way
out-gates have been fixed at convenient points, and a per-
manent pointed stone wall and coping, surmounted with a
_ handsome iron fence, has been constructed on the east
boundary line of the garden from the horse shelters to the
forebay.

MENAGERIE.

The condition of the menagerie will appear in the reports
of the General Superintendent and Prosector, hereto an-
nexed, Appendix B and C.

In pursuance of their intention to make the society an
auxiliary in the educational system of our community, the
directors have initiated a series of popular lectures on zoo-
logical subjects. Three of them have been delivered during
the past winter, viz.: By Prof. B. Waterhouse Hawkins, on
“Cats”; by Prof. Edward D. Cope, on “Special Characters of
American Life”; and by Prof. Joseph Leidy, on “ Protozoa.”
It is to be hoped that the efforts of the directors in this respect
will awaken an increased and wider interest in scientific
- research and natural objects.

The thanks of the society are due to the Trustees of the
Cope Fund for donations of interest, to Messrs. W. P. Clyde
& Co., Adams Express Co., and to Pennsylvania and Union
Pacific Railroads for many kindnesses in regard to trans-
portation, and to the donors of animals.

The Board of Directors feel sensibly the loss occasioned
by the retirement, on account of ill health, of their treasurer,
Mr, Frank 71. Clark, and they desire to express their sense
of the zealous activity and efficient services rendered by
him to the society.

All of which is submitted by order of the Board.

JOHN SAMUEL,
Secretary Zoological Society.

APPENDIX »By

To the President and Board of Directors of
, The Zoological Society:

GENTLEMEN :—I have the honor to submit to you a
brief statement of the condition of the collection of ver-
tebrate animals in the garden of the Society at the present
time, and also as compared with that of the previous year.
The total number of specimens now living in the garden
is 1,073—being an increase of 172 over the last statement,
as shown in the table below :—

The whole number of animals which have been exhibited
in the garden since its opening is 2,461, representing many
different genera and species. The table immediately follow-
ing will show that, considering the infancy of the collection,
there has been much diversity in the typical forms presented
to visitors :—

Among the animals received since last March, those most
worthy of mention are a pair of Bengal Tigers, (male and
female) and a fine male Jaguar, purchased April 5th; a
male Entellus or Sacred Monkey, from India; a Patas or
Red Monkey, from the West Coast of Africa; three
Black-handed Spider Monkeys anda Black Spider Monkey,
Meme Central America. A pair of Sun Bears from’ the
Himalayas, were purchased, but one of them, unfortunately,
died of heart disease before reaching the Garden; the other

20

arrived in safety, and has proved to be a most attractive
resident.

An attempt to imitate one of Nature’s most remarkable
associations, by domesticating some Burrowing Owls in the
Prairie Dog enclosure, failed signally, a terrific contest hav-
ing been the result. It was therefore abandoned, and the
Owls given quarters by themselves.

A valuable addition was made on Nov. Ist, consisting of
a Malayan or Saddle-backed Tapir, from the jungles of
Southern Asia; two small Indian Elephants, a male and
female, respectively three and four years old; a) female
Black Leopard, to mate the one previously owned by the
Society, and a beautiful specimen of the African Oryx An-
telope. In December, a pair of young Polar Bears arrived
from Hamburg, and were transferred to temporary quarters
in the Garden, where they were shortly followed by a half-
grown pair of Moose, from Nova Scotia, which are doing
finely, and promise well for future developement.

During the summer an attempt was made for the third
time to keep a living specimen of the Manatee or Sea
Cow (Manatus americanus).

A nearly grown female was procured in the Orinoco
River, and arrived from Demerara on the fifteenth of June,
apparently in good condition. Everything was in readi-
ness for its reception—a spacious tank, water of an even
and suitable temperature, well crated and supplied with an
excellent imitation of marine salt, in sufficient quantity to
keep it brackish. It was fed on such river grasses as were
to be procured, which seemed to be suited to its tastes, prin-
cipally the Valiisnenia spiralis, and several of the Potamo-
gettons, the last of which is closely allied to those plants
which probably supplied its necessities in its native haunts.

Notwithstanding these favorable circumstances, the ani-
mal steadily lost condition, and finally died on September
5th—two months and twenty-one days after its arrival. It is
probable, owing to the impossibility of providing (in con-
finement and in this region) for the peculiar wants of this
species, that any further attempt towards its domestication
in the Garden would be unsuccessful.

The species which have bred in the Garden are somewhat
limited in number, owing, in my opinion, to the fact that
the present unfinished state of the grounds requires many
of them to be kept for the time in cages not adapted in all

aed

at

respects to their habits. The reproductive system of all
animals being most easily affected by unfavorable con-
ditions of life, it is scarcely to be wondered at that a collec-
tion of wild animals, in its early stages, should feel the
effects of their surroundings. |

The animals which have been bred in the Garden
during the past year, are as follows :-— ;

3 Lions (Felis leo).

1 Leopard (Felis pardus var. javanensis).

6 Prairie Wolves (Canis latrans).

I Dingo (Canis dingo).

21 Prairie Dogs (Cynomes ludovicianus).

4 Fournier’s Capromys (Capromys pilorides).

2 Javan Porcupines (//ystrix javanica).

1 Zebu (Bos indicus).

I Savannah Deer (Cervus savannarun).

1 Common Camel (Camelus dromedarius).

I Bactrian Camel (Camelus bactrianus).

1 Red Kangaroo (Macropus rufus).

I Great Kangaroo (Macropus giganteus).

4 Golden Pheasants .( 7haumalea picta).

2 Common Peafowls (Pavo cristata).

The most serious losses by death since last March have
been:—the female Tiger, purchased in April, which re-
ceived injuries from its mate, resulting shortly in its death ;
a female Leopard, which died in the act of producing the
unusual number of seven young in one litter; a Seal,
(Zalophus gillespi) which died in May, from peritonitis.
Another young female of the same species had the habit
of generally staying in the water at night. During a very
cold night, early in the winter, she lost the air-hole she had
kept open to breathe through, and not having strength
to break the ice which formed over her, she was found in
the morning drowned.

The Malayan Tapir purchased in the fall also died in
January, from the indirect results of an old inflammation of
the lungs. These animals, with a Giraffe which died during
the winter, and the Manatee, form the greater part of the
$9,327.75, estimated to be the loss on animals during the
year. If it be taken into consideration that the summer of
last year was one of unparalleled heat, and that the early
part of the winter was almost as remarkable for continued
cold, both of which extremes beag with great severity upon
animals from milder climates, it will appear that the
Society has reason for congratulation, in that the loss for the
year was no greater in proportion to the increased value of
the collection, than in the year previous.

22

In conclusion, I desire to state that a correspondence has
recently been opened with persons in different parts of the
United States, who take much personal interest in the ful-
fillment of the objects to which this Society has devoted
itself, and it is hoped that through their aid much may be
done towards perfecting a collection of the North American ©
Batrachia and Reptilia—in both of which classes of animals
our own country is peculiarly rich.

A list of all animals placed in the Garden, by donation
and by purchase, from March Ist, 1876, to March Ist, 1877,
will be found accompanying.

Respectfully,

ARTHUR E. BROWN,
Superintendent.

APFERDIDEG:

To the Board of Directors of
The Zoological Society of Philadelphia:
GENTLEMEN :—I have the honor of presenting my
report as Prosector of the Society.

It is with much satisfaction that I call your attention to
the very marked improvement in the condition ofthe
menagerie, and have great pleasure in attributing it to the
many excellent hygienic measures recently introduced at
the garden. Not only has the mortality diminished abso-
lutely, but also relatively. When the many numerous addi-
tions to the garden are taken into consideration—by com-
paring the tabular list. of the animals which have died in
the garden, and sent to me for examination by the Superin-
tendent, during the past twelve months, with that in the
preceding report—it will be seen that the causes of death
are generally the same—usually unavoidable—being evils
inherent to the nature of animals in Zoological Gardens.
Where no organic disease is specified the animal seems to
have simply wasted away. As regards the disposition of
the remains, whenever anything valuable presented itself
it was preserved, prepared, and deposited either in the
Museum of the University of Pennsylvania, or that of the
Academy of Natural Sciences. Among those specimens,
in addition to skeletons, viscerz, etc., may be mentioned a
collection of brains, which have been photographed by Dr.
Andrew Parker, and made use of as the basis of his prize
essay on the “Convolutions of the Brain,’ recommended for
publication by the Faculty of the University.

Below will be found the list of animals which have been
subjected to me for examination :—
