SOUTHERN ASIATIC ETSPEDITION 



On July 8, 1939, Malcolm Davis returned from Calcutta, India, 

 where he had gone to bring back the first Indian rhinoceros that 

 this institution had ever had. This was collected for the Park b}^ 

 the Government of Assam, British India, through the interested 

 offices of the United States Consul General, Dr. J. C. White. It 

 arrived in Washington in perfect condition and may be considered 

 one of the "stars" of the collection. Mr. Davis took with him a few 

 North American animals which were turned over to zoos in the 

 East; in return he received a number of interesting specimens. In 

 Calcutta he was given friendly assistance by Sir David Ezra, the 

 noted bird fancier. A complete list of the specimens obtained on 

 this trip follows:
