142 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1958 
Leonard Carmichael accepted for the Smithsonian Institution and 
the National Zoological Park. The bear’s cage is appropriately 
decorated with the seal of the Sixth Infantry and the seal of Berlin. 
The Zoo is fortunate in having among its friends members of the 
Armed Forces who, when stationed abroad, are always on the lookout 
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 an eared pangolin, which, although it seemed to be 
doing well, lived only four months. Lt. Col. Robert Traub, stationed 
in Kuala Lumpur, Malaya, sent a linsang (Prionodon linsang), a 
species never before exhibited in this collection, as well as a number 
of particularly interesting reptiles. Other animals collected by these 
men are included in the following list of gifts of special interest:
