 New York I\v(^nLicr io, 1014, and proceeded via Panama to MoUendo, 

 IVni. Kmni there a short trip was made to the highlands near Lake 

 Titirara and sp)ccimens were obtained of the larf^ "Mwrnnalf ci the 

 rr^n"n, cs{>cnally the f^uanaco or wild llama, and the ncufia. It is of 

 great interest to note, as illuKtratinf; the scant means available for study- 

 ing; South Arochcan animals, that these vicufias were the first to be 

 brouRht to a North American Museum, notwithstandinR the fact that 

 the spcdcs is of relatively lan:c size and of great economic importance. 

 The expedition continued through the Andes to Cochabamba, Boli\'ia. 

 Prom Cochabamba it was decided to descend to the Madeira River and 

 the Amaxon by way of the Chapare and Mamorc rivers instead of by the 

 more frequented route via the Beni River. The difficult journey was 

 made with a train of twenty-four pack mules at considerable expense 

 of time, money and personal hardship. The remainder of the trip was by 

 canoe and small steamer to the Madcira-Mamorc railroad by which 

 the rapids of the Madeira were passed and thence to the Amazon at 

 Manaos where steamships of good size were available. The collection of 

 mammals secured by the expedition has not yet been studied and the 

 s pecimens of birds, which will ultimately come to this Museum, have 

 not been received. In September and October, Ta.xidcrmist Friesser 

 made a successful expedition to the Olympic Mountains of the State of 

 Washington, where, through the courtesy of state officials, he was permit- 

 ted to obtain fine specimens of the Olympic or Roosevelt Elk. These 

 and the accessory material secured at the same time will be used for a 

 large group of these animals, which has long been planned and for which 

 a striking background has already been painted.
