52 ANNUAL REPOET SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 19 32 



F. O. Lowe, sailed from New York July 22, 1931, for Georgetown, 

 British Guiana. Collecting was carried on in two general regions — 

 the Pomeroon and Mackenzie districts — and although the earlier por- 

 tion of the trip was a disappointment, 317 specimens were success- 

 fully landed at the Zoo on October 11, 1931. These comprised 13 

 species of mammals, 25 species of birds, and 31 species of reptiles and 

 amphibians. This exhibit brought a number of species into the Zoo 

 for exhibition for the first time. Surplus specimens were imme- 

 diately exchanged with other zoos. 



On this trip the party was assisted greatly by His Excellency Sir 

 Edward Denham, the Governor of British Guiana; Messrs. Hender- 

 son and Rucker, of the Bauxite Co., of British Guiana; Dr. George 

 Giglioli, himself an ardent naturalist, who presented some of his 

 pets to the expedition ; and F. M. Walcott, of Hope Estate, who gave 

 an ocelot. 



While no Surinam toads were obtained on this trip, arrangements 

 were made which later resulted in the receipt of 90 specimens in good 

 condition, through the kindness of Captain Lum, of the Munson 

 Steamship Line, who brought them to New York from Paramaribo. 

 This placed on exhibition a large group of this rare toad, and enabled 

 us to exchange specimens for exhibition with other zoos.
