24 ANNUAL EEPOIIT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1930 



Donald MacMillan through Theodore Roosevelt. On the trip out 

 he made a hurried inspection of many zoological gardens in Europe 

 and much of the information he gained there was used in the develop- 

 ment of the National Zoological Park. Another expedition was to 

 Porto Rico, where in compan}^ with other Smithsonian scientists he 

 made valuable natural history collections. 



It is largely due to the knowledge and devotion of Mr. Baker that 

 the Zoological Park has attained its present position. His Imowl- 

 edge of zoos in general was profound; of the National Zoological 

 Park, complete. He retained in his remarkable memory an almost 

 unbelievable mass of detail. 



Respectfully submitted.
