84 AosnsrxjAL report Smithsonian institution, 1950 



The U. S. Fish and Wildhfe Service continued sending valuable 

 animals, including a Steller's sea lion from St. Paul Island, Alaska. 



J, D. Handman, of Nyasaland, Africa, in making shipments of 

 animals ordered from him, has in each case put in one or two extra 

 creatures as gifts. The specimens are from a region not well known 

 zoologically", and so all are of special interest. 



An American black bear, "Smoky," a cub that had been rescued 

 from a forest fire in New Mexico, was presented by the U. S. Forest 

 Service. The animal was flown to Washington in a Piper Cub air- 

 plane, through the courtesy of Mr. Piper, and presented in connection 

 with the Forest Service's campaign to emphasize the necessity for 

 prevention and control of forest fires.
