SECRETARY’S REPORT 153 
The Maryland State Game Commission gave the Zoo a pair of 
wild turkeys, which have hatched four eggs. 
The Maine State Game Department at Milo trapped a fisher for 
the National Zoo. This is the rarest and most valuable of American 
fur-bearing animals and had not been exhibited here for more than 
30 years. 
The Zoo is fortunate in having among its friends members of the 
Armed Forces who, when stationed abroad, are always searching for 
rare and interesting animals. Dr. Robert E. Kuntz, of the Navy 
Medical Research Unit in Taipei, Taiwan, sent a number of speci- 
mens, including a family of three pangolins—father, mother, and 
baby. Lt. Col. Robert Traub, stationed at Kuala Lumpur, Malaya, 
sent two species of squirrels as well as a number of particularly in- 
teresting reptiles. Other animals collected by these men are included 
in the following list of gifts of special interest:
