88 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1946 
Other rarities such as the pigmy galago or “bush baby,” pottos, and 
burrowing pythons were received directly from West Africa, rare 
frogs were flown from South America and Panama, two pairs of 
quetzals were received from Costa Rica and several cocks-of-the-rock 
from South America. From the New York Zoological Society the 
Park received three very large Galapagos tortoises that had been col- 
lected while young many years ago and raised in Florida. Small and 
attractive cage birds, not imported during the war, are coming in 
again, and a considerable number of species have been added to the 
collection.
