Abstract
ALTHOUGH it becomes more difficult year by year for the Zoological Society to add new objects to their collection of living animals, yet, as is shown by the annual reports read at the anniversary meetings, examples of a certain number of species which have not been “previously exhibited” are acquired every year. In 1892, as we are told in last year's report, specimens of 11 mammals, 20 birds, 14 reptiles, and one batrachian “referable to species not included in the last (eighth) edition of the ‘List of Animals,’” were added to the series. In 1893, the numbers of novelties in the respective classes were hardly less numerous.
