EXCHANGES 



A most interesting lot of Asiatic mammals, birds, and reptiles were 

 received from the Zoological Gardens, Colombo, Ceylon. These were 

 brought to the Park by Malcolm Davis of the Zoo staff, along with 

 an Indian rhinoceros, the return of which was the specific reason 

 for his journey to India. The group of animals from Colombo 

 consisted of 7 monkeys of 3 different species, 33 birds of 5 species, 

 and 33 reptiles of 9 different species. An important exchange was 

 made with Louis Ruhe, Inc., New York, N. Y., in which the Park 

 received a splendid pair of bactrian camels. A young has since 

 been born to this pair. Several exchanges have been carried on
