Recent additions to the Zoological Society's Collection, Regent's Park, [London], 1864. 'The whistling duck (Dendrocygna arborea), from Jamaica; and the little green bittern, from Para (Butorides virescens), do not differ materially from their well-known allies of the same groups in habits....[Specimens from a group of animals]...imported from various parts of the American continent, and the greater part of them represent species which had previously been brought alive to this country.... the society's [collection] of living animals...now embraces upwards of 1700 individuals from all parts of the world'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
