EXCHANGES. 



The number of exchanges was smaller than usual. As already- 

 mentioned, two moose were received from the Rocky Mountains 

 National Park and several animals from dealers. 



ANIMALS FROM GIZA. 



In the latter part of March, 1913, an offer of some desirable ani- 

 mals was received from the Government Zoological Garden at Giza, 

 Egypt. This offer included two young African elephants, a male 

 and a female, and a number of other less important animals. The 

 two elephants were engaged for the park, together with three drome- 

 daries and two Arabian baboons. As the Egyptian authorities 

 required the animals to be accepted at their gardens, it was thought 

 advisable to send the head keeper of the park to receive them and 

 accompany them during transportation. He left Washington May 

 15, 1912, and arrived at Giza on June 19. On his arrival he found 

 that several other desirable animals were available there and was 

 authorized by cable to secure them for the park, so that there were 

 altogether 21 animals in the shipment. It was necessary to go to 

 London to arrange for transportation, and on the way from there 

 to Egypt the zoological gardens at Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Ant- 

 werpj Cologne, and Rome were visited.
