80 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1939 



is of importance as showing the percentage attendance by States, 

 territories, and countries. The District of Columbia comprised 

 slightly over 46 percent ; Maryland, 19 percent ; Virginia, 11 percent ; 

 and the remaining cars were from other States, Territories, and coun- 

 tries. During years in which counts have been made on Sunday as 

 well as during the week it has been found that the percentage of cars 

 from the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia is less, and 

 the percentage of more distant States is correspondingly increased. 

 This is brought about by tourists coming to the Zoo on Sundays 

 when other points of interest are closed to them.
