rufous-necked, black-faced, Parry, Woodward kangaroo and the 
interesting West Australian rat kangaroo; the ring-tailed wal-

Workers at the Lion House. 
A number of negatives were made for a manufacturer and

Country Gentleman, Literary Digest, Cosmopolitan, Everybody’s

given at the Colony Club; and the same pictures, and a collection
