ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1923 



A total of 48 specimens— 11 mammals, 20 birds, and 17 reptiles— 

 of special scientific value, were transferred after death to the 

 United States National Museum. A number of eggs of rare birds 

 were also transferred to the Museum. At the request of the Car- 

 negie Laboratory of Embryology, Johns Hopkins Medical School, 

 Baltimore, 27 specimens, mostly mammals, were delivered to that 

 institution for anatomical purposes. One mammal was sent to 

 St. Elizabeths Hospital, Washington, D. C, for special study of 

 the brain. A few skins of cage birds were saved for the reference 

 collection at the park.
